Latin America meets US infrastructure — the gateway city between two continents. Art Basel. Calle Ocho. The Design District. The Everglades 45 minutes away. Genuinely international in a way most American cities only claim to be.
Miami is the only major US city where speaking English is sometimes the minority option. It is also built on land that will be underwater within decades — the city is in active negotiation with sea level rise and losing. This does not seem to slow anyone down.
Miami sits in the expensive tier — costs are high and you'll need a solid income to live comfortably. Winter is essentially nonexistent — mild temperatures year-round. Sunshine is abundant — nearly year-round sun if that matters to your mood. Bureaucracy is foreigner-friendly and internet is world-class — fast and ubiquitous. There's a real expat scene here — not enormous, but visible and connected. A car is essentially required — public transport and walkability are very limited. There is genuine depth to explore beyond the obvious.
Binary signals — not scores.

South Beach is for visitors. Wynwood for the art scene, Little Havana for the real Cuban culture, and Coconut Grove for a slower, leafier Miami that most tourists never find. August is genuinely dangerous heat — locals leave if they can.
These are the numbers. But numbers don't move to a new city — you do.
