Whenever I run into "biggest a-holes" on a consistent basis, odds are they are from 1 of 2 places--Newport Beach or Great Neck.....not sure what is in their water supplies but fortunately it has not spread elsewhere and nothing else (not Greenwich, UES, Palm Beach, Marin County, Boston/New England, etc) comes remotely close to these 2.

NYC is nothing scary either, inner city Miami is worse. Hell, you even get your car shot on the I-95.
way before all that...and where I was in New York was upscale....not Sobe, not Liberty City, not Hialeah

more like downtown Coral Gables...and people doing drugs right on the street

and yeah, it looked filthy, old....and it was the first time I've seen people doing drugs right out in the open...where it shouldn't have been

I think there are a lot of over leveraged people with very unstable income trying to live the life and it ends up catching up to them. Crypto and onlyfans and social media influencer are not the most stable career paths. Makes me think what is going on with all the people jumping to their deaths from the brickell high rises.

Go to NYC and see all the young dreamers with three different Sugar Daddies to fund their NYC lifestyle. At least the weather better in Miami. The over leveraged young ones in NYC are “stylists”, “magazine editors”, “models”.

NYC is a world city of 8.4 million people (and a metro of 19 million). The "kept girls" (and a few kept boys) are a minute population there considering its huge population. And sorry, "magazine editor" -- like book editor, copy editor, etc., -- is a legitimate job. Not well-paying for New York, but as NY is the center of the publishing biz, competition is fierce, and you'd better have good grades on your college transcript to land an entry-level job (very demanding work in spite of the modest salary). From all I've read, no US city can compete with Miami for sheer corruption, prostitution (low-end as well as high-end), and general vice like Miami. For its size -- and that's the yardstick -- it may well be the most worldly-corrupt city in the US.

"From all you read". Live in both places then get back to me. I grew up in NY (born and raised). As about corrupt a place as any in the world. Bernie Madoff, Trump, Andrew Cuomo, Epstein....Miami is in the junior league when it comes to NY's ability to run healthcare scams, illegal strip clubs, Wall Street gambling, Unions on the take. NY is the big league.

Let's see: New York is the financial center of the country, with London it's one of the two centers of international finance, lots of concentrated wealth, center of immigration, large percentage of the foreign born, tourism, and, yes, just shy of 20 million people in its metro. (Metro Miami-Lauderdale has just 6 million).

And Miami? Capital of Latin American finance and center of Latin American concentrated wealth. There's nothing "junior league" about it. If there's ever a VPC (vice per capita) rating of US cities, Miami will be placed above New York.

Need to live in both. I have seen it firsthand. The Wolf of Wall Street came out of NY for a reason. Wasn't the Wolf of Miami.

"LIving in both" is more credible for the worst traffic flow, or which city has the best stack of pancakes. It's very inadequate for things like generalized corruption, vice, immorality, and sins of greed or lust. There are plenty of wolves in Miami. The city actually has a reputation for them. And for bad manners. Only Miami's reputation for landlord greed is worse: the exposés in the Miami Herald have been pretty shocking.
