I don't know about Miami, but I do know about San Diego. Once moved there from San Francisco. Got tired of the cold, wet climate in 'frisco, and other than the parks and the Bay, it's a city of concrete. Wow, was San Diego different. Not in a good way either. Spent most of my time in O.B., but in general, this is what you will find in S.D. and the adjacent towns.....snobbish, pretentious people who are totally unfriendly. You will be lucky if they even talk to you. Or unlucky, as the case may be, because for a lot of them, it's all about money and looking good. Had a friend who lived there. He went to a party, and guy comes up and says "Nice shirt. I USED to own that shirt". What an odd thing to say. I told my friend he should gave taken the shirt off right and said "Oh? Would you like it back?" Jar heads are everywhere you look, and they can be very aggressive and rude. Really, this is not a nice city. I thought people wouldn't talk to me because I had a Southern accent. Some people don't like Southerners (and we don't like them, but that's another story). But nooooo. I was in a Savannah cafe, and the waitress, who had zero Southern accent, said no one would talk to her either, so she moved back to Savannah. If you aren't in their social circle and looking sharp (as in square), then you're invisible. The only thing I liked about the area were the fish tacos and Dog Beach. It was a hoot to fall asleep on the beach and wake up w/ a dog licking your face!
