Pros: Great weather, low taxes, fun nightlife
Cons: people are incredibly vapid, “culture” is almost non-existent (especially noticeable if you’re moving from a tier 1 city), getting trashier by the day

Weather is too good, restaurant food is too tasty, and beaches are too amazing. If you have to move elsewhere after living there it would make you feel bad

great weather in Miami means really hot weather year-round. expect at least 7+ months (May through November) to have heat index of 100F+ during the day and 80+ after sunset. 🌞

Cost of living is ridiculous. People aren’t pleasant. Food and beach are great. I consider moving to the west coast or Tampa a lot. The weather is good but it’s hot. If you weren’t raised in the heat and hurricanes, it’ll take time to adjust. Truly, the inflated cost of everything, the amount of people, and the ignorance of the people are the worst part. I’ve lived here two years and enjoy it, but I have a boat and live close to the beach.

Maybe I’m out of the loop…but how are all these consultants on here making low to mid six figures with 3 years industry experience? Perhaps I’m just in the wrong industries but that seems too short a time to be advising others in a field. Are these just internet exaggerations? Or is there something big I’m missing?
