Reasons why I didn't like Miami and went back to NYC (Hudson: best cities, apartment)

In my opinion it is a very over rated city. I don't like NY, so I don't live there. See how that works?

The most important word you used in this entire diatribe is "opinion".

spending summers in NYC you do tend to strike random conversations once in a while with people on the subway. My family is in Mill Basin in Brooklyn we have decent neighbhors that we know very well and get along with. NYC is what diversity means. I good balance of backgrounds unlike Miami its either you're hispanic or not (though that would be disputed). NYC does have a lot of options for people and its all in one. Though in NYC, when you drive people are always in a hurry and honk once the light turns green and those people who take public transport complain if the buses aren't on time.

You mean the entire truth? Just like every other New Yorker that trolls down to Miami. They never can answer logically why they don't move back if they have a problem with the city they currently reside in. It's the best city in their opinion, yet they don't live there? Makes absolutely no friggin sense at all.

For example, I moved to Atlanta when it was the hype city and the housing boom was outrageous in Miami. I hated it. I didn't **** and moan and be disrespectful and down their city. I just saved my money and moved back to Miami. That's how it works if you don't like a place.

Yea, I get your point the statement about Miami didn't need to be made, just move back to wherever, its different for everyone.

Florida, like many other southern states, is a dumb state.

Sour grapes and let it be! I was born and raised across the Hudson from Manhattan and we moved to Miami as a kid and we fell in love and have never wanted to go back.
Different strokes for different folks.

If you earn good money in Miami or have a big bank account its probably a better life.
JetBlue up to NYC a few times a year to get your fill can be enough

Ok lets be honest. Yes NYC has more ethnic groups than Miami, BUT some times you do get neighborhorhoods of one ethnic group over another, and they are not inviting to outsiders. I have heard stories of whites moving into Bedstuy or Fortgreen and being harrassed or beat up. I know of blacks that have beat up or killed in Italian neighborhoods. I have heard of Indians, specifically sikhs who have been killed in NYC in ethnic enclaves also. I knew a gay couple who made the mistake of moving to Brownsville because the rent was cheap. Well someone threw one of them a beating. After that they moved uptown. So NYC can be a little ridiculous at times too. As to Miami, I think you can get SOME diversity on the east side. Coconut Grove is full of francophones from France and some West Africans. Brickell and downtown you can get some mixes too. Also in Edgewater and Midtown. Also Miami Springs seems to be mostly Anglo, with SOME Hispanics in there.
