Miami > Houston/Dallas/Austin IMO so this would be enticing to me if I were interested in the Florida market (or other low cost of living markets) or was a 2L. Miami housing can be expensive, but no income tax like here in TX is awesome.

I realize sheer number of cases doesn’t tell the whole story… obviously you can be buried on one massive case. I’m finding it hard to jump back and forth between everything I have going on right now, though, but I don’t know if the answer is to just deal with it.
