Well, I live in the infamous Miami that is known for its humidity, rudest drivers in the country, mosquitoes, shark attacks, people in McDonald's that don't speak English, highest rate of unemployment, 3 days in the year of a 60 degree winter, rude people in general, overpopulation, sweltering heat in the summer, overpriced houses, horrid educational system, category 5 hurricanes, etc. etc. etc. Nothing is walking distance yet the gas prices are blowing through the roof.

BUT! I have to say I can't imagine myself living anywhere else. Everywhere you go there are beautiful sky-high palm trees, the sparkling warm beach is right around the corner from where I live, I have access to most stores available across the country, and if I decide to wake up at 3am to do something -- you bet there is something open in South Beach. I've learned to look at Miami's imperfections as its perks. Seriously, sometimes it gives us Miamians a reason to sit back and laugh. You can't help but secretly love it. It's definitely a love/hate relationship for me!
