Here is a summary of what users have to say about living in Miami.

Excerpts from user reviews:

1. "Miami is a melting pot of cultures and offers a lot of opportunities for career growth. However, the cost of living is high and traffic can be unbearable. It also gets very hot and humid in the summers." - JasonM

2. "I have lived in Miami my whole life and I absolutely love it. The beaches, food, and nightlife are unbeatable. However, it is a very fast-paced and crowded city, so if you prefer a quieter and slower lifestyle, Miami may not be the best fit for you." - MariaS

3. "I moved to Miami for work and I have to say, it exceeded my expectations. The weather is amazing, there is always something to do, and the people are friendly. The only downside is the high housing costs, but it's worth it for the overall quality of life." - AlexR

4. "I have mixed feelings about Miami. On one hand, the weather is great and there are plenty of job opportunities. But on the other hand, the traffic and crime rates are concerning. It's definitely not a perfect city, but it has its charm." - SarahK

Lots to do here - 2/10/2011
I really like New York, well do i have to go into it but I also can appreciate what Miami has to offer, beautiful "winters" and great outdoor activities, sailing, fishing, jogging in a nice park, etc. There's always something going on, you just gotta make an effort to find it unlike NY where you can just kinda walk outside and pump into a museum, theater, or live music in central Read More

He did, she did, and even, they did! - 10/1/2010
The beaches are beautiful, the weather is great, superb restaurants, the international flare allow one to meet interesting people, etc. But all that back and forth from the politicians is a way of life in the Florida and in the Miami area politics. It is exhausting,I either change chanels, set the mute button or put on a cartoon cd- All that finger pointing does not help the voter make a sensible choice. I'll still go to the urns, because it is my duty, but I, like probably millions of other voters, will stand there and think ten times before marking the ballot!And probably later regret the choice I Read More

Can't wait to leave Miami!!! - 6/24/2010
I've been living in Miami for 13 years and I can't wait to leave here. My issues with Miami:

1). The weather. I HATE HATE HATE heat and humidity and that's all I get here. If you like lots of sunny days and high humidity constantly, then Miami is for you. But for me, no way!

2). The job market. I haven't been working for nearly 5 months now and I've been searching and applying anywhere that will allow me to. I say that because MOST to all jobs say you have to speak Spanish to apply. Yes, the majority of the people here are Hispanics. I skip more than 20 job postings per day (that I'm fully qualified for) just because I don't speak Spanish. Even simple office jobs say you must speak Spanish to apply. Ugh!

3). Recreation. I honestly don't see the hype about Miami. There's nothing to do here. Sure, there's the beach and some museums. Other than that, NOTHING!

Los Angeles vs. Miami - 11/15/2009
Miami is one of the most beautiful cities in the country, with its bridges and water access, clear skies and gorgeous beaches. It's vibrant with lots to do on any day or night of the week. Although locals complain about traffic, compared to LA, there is no comparison. However, after relocating here from Los Angeles nearly 6 years ago, Miami has gotten very expensive since we arrived and to make matters worse, the salaries are half of what they are in Los Angeles. This move made sense at the time, but the deal killer is that the taxes in the City of Miami are nearly 3 times ($7,000)vs LA and the homeowner's insurance is nearly 1,000 times more per year Read More

Too many people - 8/30/2009
