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

BBQ at the pool on Christmas... but at what price? - 1/11/2007
Beautiful weather almost all year round (except for a hurricane every now and then). If you don't mind a very high crime rate, terrible schools, english being the SECOND language, over inflated housing and rent, some of the worst traffic (and drivers)in the country, and a goverment that rivals just about any "banana republic" regime; then my friends this is the place for you. So get yourself a "mojito" and pull up a chair next to the pool and enjoy the sun (because that's about all there is to enjoy down

What MASS transit?? - 12/24/2006
Hey Cali; If you want my suggestion here it is.... Don't move to Miami. I moved down from Boston about 2 yrs ago and CAN'T wait to get out of here...
Public transportation here is pretty much non-existing. The people are rude and the business politics (well let me just say this; I have never in my 26 yrs seen what I have seen here in the last 2 yrs).
Nightlife is OK if you carry a 45 and dont have to worry about being mobbed in the parking lot of the

Thinking about moving to Miami - 12/20/2006
I have lived in Chicago, Atlanta (Yuck!), Honolulu and now live in San Francisco. The average price of a home is 1,000,000+...no kidding. From reading these posts, it seems like Miami is relatively unscathed, so far, by the Chinese takeover.
San Francisco is VERY over rated. Racism? Blacks don't even have jobs here. High crime in Miami? You guys have cops? We have (constant) sirens but no observable police force. I now know why CA's divorce rate is 4x higher than the rest of the U.S.: People are extremely self-absorbed and only befriend another if they think that there is some way they can benefit from it. Why do I pay so much to live here? I loathe SF and CA.
I wish to move to Buenos Aires, Argentina some day and would like to learn Spanish. Only S. Florida is an option for me b/c I absolutely cannot live in the Dirty South again and, N. Florida is "Southern". How's the mass transit there? The bits I've read about 'low wages' is kind of

So Hot - 12/16/2006
It is so hot all the time. Even in the winter, you can't wear a sweater. In the summer, you start sweating the second you walk outside in the morning.

There Is No Reason To Ever Live Here. - 12/13/2006
I have lived in 5 other large cities in the last 28 years due to the nature of my business. This is by far the most horrible city in the USA. And on that subject, (the USA), Forget about it, when you move to Miami there should be a sign at the Dade County line stating "You are now leaving The United States"
If you were not born in Cuba or another South American Country, you should not live here, they do not like americans, nor do they care to do business with you. I believe we (the USA) should just put up a border and make it another
