Miami is America's worst place to live

Looks like the good, green stuff to me.

 

No doubt. Aside from the other stuff, I think Miami's much touted "warm weather" is wildly overrated as an attribute. Unless you're immediately adjacent to pool or ocean, South Florida ain't a pleasant place to be outside for a large chunk of the year. The cold doesn't seem as bad if the alternative is a combination of heat and humidity that makes you feel as if you're standing inside someone's mouth.

 

Amen, Stoney.

Having moved away from humidity in 2009, I don't know how I lived with it for 37 summers.

 

Miami is a great place to live - if you have a secret room filled with 5-gallon buckets of cash.

Every Florida beach on the Redneck Riviera has a "no swim" advisory due to toxic fecal bacteria aka flesh-eating bacteria.

 

South Florida is a wonderful place...to visit
There are few worse places to live in the summer than DC and Baltimore, with the ungodly humidity. Great places to visit, except in the summer

 

Everyplace has its problems. Boston is a great place to live, but unless you moved here in 1974 as I did, you can't afford to. Also, January and February are pretty mean. Miami's hot and humid. New Orleans is even more hot and humid. Each has insects bigger than you are. LA has droughts, mudslides, fires and earthquakes. San Francisco has earthquakes, tech assholes and is even more expensive than Boston. New York has, well, let's not start. But they're all fabulous cities, too.

 

Tahoe is really nice, though.
And it's 15 minutes from everywhere.

 

As someone who grew up in the Midwest and has now lived in the Gulf South since 1979, I can put up with the 8 months of summer, and everything that comes with it, to not have to deal with a real winter from November through February.
