I live in NYC and it feels like the capital of the world...plus you have 2,800 outdoor public one-wall Handball courts. You have a melting pot of cultures, some of the best restaurants in the world, sports teams that waste money getting the best players, 4 seasons. You can also venture to Long Island beaches, wealthy Westchester County, and skiing in upstate, NY. Just about anything you want or need you can find it in New York City. If you have an emergency the cops and fire department can be at your place in under 5 minutes. NYC is also pretty safe from natural disasters. A lot of people to meet if your single.
The drawback is it is expensive, no public bathrooms, sometimes you think your in peurto rico or dominican republic, a lot of cops to give you traffic tickets, you need to have a tolorance for stress. A lot of asshole drivers who will try and beat you to a red light.
I visited Orange County, CA last year and would also consider living there one day when I get tired of NY. It would be a culture shock, but I have allergies and I catch colds fast...so a warm climate would be better for me in the future.
If I had to pick a place to live out of the USA it would be Japan, my wife is Japanese and it is close to NYC type living....but with 99% Japanese. My background is Italian so I would miss NY Italian deli's and pizzerias.
When I think of Miami I think about CSI and those cool condos by the water...and that beautiful warm ocean water. But it does not have any long term reason to live there.
