[@futuree.d.o.podcast604]

I lived in LA for over a decade, and Miami for 2 years. In Miami, I made twice as much as a bartender/DJ, and paid half as much to live ON THE BEACH (compared to living inland in LA). Quality of life, there is no comparison! LA is overcrowded, has rampant homelessness, horrific traffic, horrible air quality, and an energy of pretentiousness. IMHO live in LA only if you are in the "industry". Miami has more of a "spicy" feel, more varied latin cultures than LA, people are more open, more sexual, and overall happier. That rubs off on you, believe me! Funny how two cities with great beaches, weather, and latin culture can be so different!

[@ChrisVincelli]

Awesome feedback! What do you think is the matter with Los Angeles these days?

[@futuree.d.o.podcast604]

@@ChrisVincelli Besides what I just mentioned, in the end I think it boils down to an energetic thing. One man's trash is another man's treasure... when I first moved to LA, I was in love with it. I think it was in alignment with who I was back then. Now, I feel I have grown out of it and prefer cities like NYC, Paris, and Madrid. Cities that feel more sophisticated and culturally rich. LA has its pluses for sure. Its certainly not the worst city to live in the states. It just feels like too much of a dirty sprawling suburb to me. And the beaches are fine...but if I want beach, I would much rather be in San Diego or Miami, where its more laid back, and the "city" is more beautiful. I find that cities that are more walkable, and not built around the automobile are just far more interesting. At least Miami Beach is walkable and bikeable all the way from 5th all the way up to Fontainbleu

[@luisalsays]

Bu California has snow, mountain, deserts and beaches and you can drive for all these different places with a short distance. Florida has... beaches only.

[@futuree.d.o.podcast604]

@@luisalsays True. But if living in the city is your home base, and that city sucks to you, then no amount of desert, mountains, or beaches can cure that. If you were ok living in the rural areas, then maybe cali is for you ;) of course, all this is subjective. I happen to love NYC, but many people have similar complaints about ny. For me, the drawbacks are worth it because I love the city so much. For LA, the drawbacks are not offset enough

[@Lunatic4Bizcas]

@@futuree.d.o.podcast604 : You can live in a mid sized inland city in So Cal like I do, and have access to the main conveniences found in LA just on a smaller scale (Of course). Inland cities are more affordable in California than coastal cities, but you have to deal with heat; however, if you're used to Miami, the heat in Inland Cities shouldn't be such a big deal, because it's a dry heat and it cools down in the late evening. I live in Central Cali, where it is much more affordable than LA, and if I want to enjoy a lot of what Cali has to offer, I just drive 2 to 3 hours in each direction and voila !

[@EugeakaEugene]

isn't South Florida more oriented towards wealthy? Rent prices are high and real estate prices are in top of the most expensive

[@Fourwindsofsuccess]

Yes it sure is. I was born and raised in Fort Lauderdale, FL which is Broward County, it’s a south florida city because people truly think it’s all about Miami when I never lived in Miami a day of my life. Florida is a beautiful place but you’re only going to be happy with you have wealth established prior to moving there or you’re some famous/rich person or you’re a successful businessman or have a legit college degree career path with years of experience in something to make six figures. These people have this indoctrination of Florida being heaven all the time. You have to come there already successful if not you’re gonna be stuck working 2-3 basic ass jobs to pay a high rent income or you’re gonna be roommating or renting a small cottage out the back of someone’s home. You need a car as well even though some of Florida does have public transportation buses and Tri-rails. Florida isn’t the state to go to if you trying to restart your life or rebuild some new life from scratch or “grind” you will get burned out not enjoying yourself because you’re working majority like hell to cover those bills. I’ve warned so many lost, delusional, gullible, ignorant, and desperate Americans who leave their amazing states to come to Florida state. It’s truly a grind out there and it’s NOT the state to be trying to be homeless in at all. Florida don’t care about the poverty class, working class, or middle class. It’s only for upper middle class and the wealthy that’s who live their best lives there 90%. The Floridians natives sit there and like suffering financially in that state because they are afraid to leave because they believe anything outside of Florida is not safe or they will bored or miserable. The jobs are also low paying like hell 😂. So tread lightly with these content creators. Like I said if you’re established you’ll do good there. The weather is something they all don’t mention either. Florida has the highest number of hurricanes in the US, with 120 hurricanes making landfall in Florida, or 40.4% of all US hurricanes. So, they just truly don’t care at all. The rain is good but it gets brutal with winds and I notice the climate has changed there like now it gets huge floods that’s like 2ft- 4ft of storm surges as well compared to 2004 when I was a kid. It’s always floods and it’s only a matter of time Florida starts to get huge storm surges damaging those homes and people cars. I don’t want to be under water and even though I grew up there, it’s not gonna be a place I purchase a home maybe a tiny condo to visit but not my main residence. The wealthy can fly out when these storms come but majority of Floridians stay there toughing it out. So the wealthy or well off or people with more than enough money aren’t bothered by nothing. You’ll be shocked people be like out there struggling, also social services don’t help you in Florida at all if you’re able bodied and fall on hard times without support or kids; you will be suffering. Their south Florida “Taskforce” will have you outside at a local bus stop sleeping or waiting years for a homeless shelter beds. All of Florida is the same there’s no difference. I decided to leave.

[@EugeakaEugene]

@@Fourwindsofsuccess Thanks for your comment! There is this tendency to brag about moving to Miami and mostly the rich are moving there. Rich business people who relocate there or spoiled rich kids. Otherwise those who are not financially strong rent a room with 5 others. Dating is also based on material things. It is like Las Vegas and California where dating is all about financial status. As I did a research most gold diggers are in places like Miami and cities that are similar to Miami like Boca Raton. Can't say about whole Florida.There are plenty of street interviews, podcasts, forum topics and it proves this point that dating in Miami is only based on how rich you are. Just wonder, which state/city is good to start? Or in general which places are the better options? As an European looking for opportunities in US also knowing that America is having it's own problems and I don't believe in American dream thing. Only biggest plus is that country is big and it means bigger market and choices

[@Fourwindsofsuccess]

@@EugeakaEugene It’s good you’re researching but yes you have to be careful who you get caught up with out there with in Florida. There’s not much in Boca Raton, FL like that either. You can find a decent partner but you got to weed through all the fake nonsense and avoid toxic friendships to not only romantic relationships.

[@ChrisVincelli]

[@aahsimovieprojects]

LA is a great city and has so much to offer. As a whole I'd argue it's a better city if you're considering every possible factor, but for me theres nothing that can beat living anywhere on the beach in Miami-Dade county. I just love the vibe, the boating and beach culture, the latin american influence, and laid back feel. I guess for a lot of people it comes down to career though. I work in healthcare so for me I can live pretty much anywhere and make a good living thankfully.

[@alexanderroper6776]

Allen Cherry Hey there Allen, I appreciate your response, but to claim Miami has more money overall, would only follow logically if Miami Beach wasn’t in fact it’s own city- outside of the city of Miami. So indeed you can claim the wealthiest zip code is in Miami Beach, but the City of LA is still wealthier overall compared to the City of Miami...especially because the City of Miami Beach wasn’t even part of the discussion in the first place.

[@alexanderroper6776]

Allen Cherry Yeah lol...that’s what I thought. This is not to deny the fact that Miami Beach has more money overall to LA, but because the discussion was regarding the comparison between the City of LA and the City of Miami, the wealth of the City of Miami Beach is frankly irrelevant.

[@alexanderroper6776]

Allen Cherry Once again, considering that the whole discussion was based around only two cities: the City of LA and the City of Miami, there is no reason nor relevance in introducing two whole new cities lol. Does this make sense to you sir?

[@alexanderroper6776]

Allen Cherry Allen, I think you need to reevaluate what I said and didn’t say, considering that I didn’t say anything about population or counties lol. You’re argument is dependent on many premises on which are pure assumption versus fact. The City of LA is one city in California, the City of Miami is one city in Florida. These two cities are being compared. Not population, nor counties, nor surrounding areas. We are only looking at two independent cities...nothing else.

Very true, but it’s a different type of Latin! Less Caribbean and South American, more Mexican and Central American. Wouldn’t you say?

[@Lunatic4Bizcas]

@@ChrisVincelli : Being of Mexican background, there's no need for me to move to Miami if it comes to enjoying a Latin American vibe, I can simply drive down to Tijuana (Which believe it or not is an international Beta City) and find people who are Caribbean and even some South Americans, whilst technically being in Latin America. I also speak next to perfect Spanish, so no trouble there either. If I choose, I could also purchase a fairly affordable ticket to Mexico City, where there is a large Argentine and Uruguayan presence as well as a burgeoning Colombian presence. Again, no need for me to venture out to Miami, I don't even find it culturally attractive as a travel destination. Sorry.

You have made one of the most spot on videos I've ever seen on this subject. However, I have to mention that in some respects there's no contest. LA and Miami are not the same. LA is way, way more developed, from the variety of businesses to the options available, to the products on the market, to infrastructure, and public transportation (which still sucks compared to New York and San Francisco), LA has more development. You can feel the difference, that California is just a much richer state than Florida, I mean it's the richest in the nation, and the 7th economy of the world on its own, and you can tell. Having said that, yes Miami downtown, particularly Miami Beach feels like some of the most luxurious places in the world. The difference however lies in contrasts. In LA, yes, there's skid row, which is extremely sad, and particularly on 3rd going from Downtown to Beverly Hills you see contrasts in poverty and wealth that are extreme. But here in Miami as soon as you step out of Coral Gables, which is kind of like Pasadena to me, you enter what looks like Huntington Park in LA. It just seems like the nice areas in Miami are in smaller pockets, US 1 being very beautiful though. The beaches is another point where ee have to be honest. The beach in LA sucks compared to Miami. It's no contest. The water is cold all year round, not even safe to swim according to the Health department because the temperature never or rarely reaches 68 degrees Fahrenheit. The sand is less refined. The beaches un Cali are for skate boarding, surfing, if you're part of that very small group of people who like surfing, and just walking around. I'm from Cuba and to me the beach is not for walking around. It's for swimming and enjoying the water and each other. So a very important distinction needs to be emphasized on that point because the beaches are not comparable. People do drive like maniacs here in Miami though. I've lived most of my life in LA, originally from Cuba and now living in Miami, but I've visited Miami many times before. BTW the traffic is way worse now than even just a few years ago in Miami. One more note. There's way more beautiful girls in Miami, and I don't mean Miami Beach with the babes in Miami Beach, I mean everywhere from LA Carreta to el Palacio de Los Jugos, FIU University, just everywhere, and the black chicks here are also hotter than in LA. More beautiful women and they actually make eye contact. I don't know why people are just so insecure in LA, or way too arrogant, like they jump between extremes of insecurity and pretentiousness. Having said that though, the most rude people I've encountered have been here in Miami. People are less insecure here, and have an older sense of what having money means, meaning they think more in terms of class here in Miami. It feels like there's less of a middle class here in Miami. People from Coral Gables act as if they were from Beverly Hills, whereas in LA, the equivalent would be people from Pasadena, who don't act like they are important just because they have money.

@@ChrisVincelli The weather. I also don't feel like I am in the middle of nowhere. Let me explain, yes LA is much bigger, but there's less of a connection to Europe, particularly Spain. LA would feel good for people with Mexican, Peruvian, Central American, and especially Asian ancestry since California has strong ties to Asia, but for Cubans who are particularly attached to Spain, LA is another story. I also like that Miami is less crowded. I know that sounds like a joke to people in Miami but compared to LA it's more chill, especially on the weekends. I also like the proximity to Cuba, the time zone being ahead of the rest of the country, and the fact that the beach water temperature is warm.

@@cmad2345Florida isn’t the future because it’s been said in the next 50-100 years it will suffer from far more damage form those hurricanes. I’m a south Floridian born and raised in Fort Lauderdale NOT Miami , can’t tell me this lie only desperate northerners or mid west people think Florida is the world because y’all hate snow so much until you get a wake up call. Florida is for those who’s already accomplished wealth or have a really good college education to make big bucks or a really successful business owner to live there. It’s not for random lost souls to come which is why they get lost there or become broke or they’re miserable. You won’t even have time to live comfortably because if you’re not wealthy or making six figures or more or an established person then you’ll be working 2-3 jobs to live comfortable. The jobs are very low paying in Florida as well which no one questions unless you have a nice degree at least a bachelors or master will help you make way more in Florida without struggling. It’s so many Uber drivers or lyft driver that are suffering out there or they have 3-5 hustles to struggling out there. If you’re not well off you will be roommating there or living in Craigslist rentals in someone’s cottage/effencies ir you’ll be homeless. Florida has lots of homeless people to and their social programs don’t truly help nobody unless the ones they accommodate. It’s that simple also the hurricane season. People always thinking hurricanes are a play thing I’ve survived 5, I’m sick of that cutting into my life. It’s not a fun game because that land has started to get more flooded as time goes by.

And because Miami isn't heavily concentrated in white culture compared to LA that makes it feel less "American"? America is a melting pot of different cultures, that's the most American you can get. Having only one main type of food, music, activities, etc has never been the reason why people love to be in this country, or cities like NYC. I think that comment you made sounded super ignorant, especially from someone who clearly isn't even white himself. And this is what white wash, brainwashing looks like.

Florida is a huge state with cities within cities miami is by far the dirtier and loads of violence is you’re not well off or wealthy. It’s not the place to be trying to struggle and strive to build a family. Broward is 45 minutes away from Dade County. The way y’all indoctrinate y’all selves you all will say Miami is the capital. Its not the best city there in Florida either, it’s a huge latin community majority and most of the black community lives in those violent areas unless they’re wealthy. There’s rarely any white people in Miami, some but not a lot most people there are Latin. Miami so high costing effectively and y’all hate to admit that. California is better than Florida because Florida weather is getting worst and has the most dangerous hurricanes and that land isn’t gonna stand strong against it after a whole years from now, it’ll be a Katrina event that comes there which the poor and working class and middle class will suffer the most in Florida from the damage. That weather is bi-polar and always raining for nothing with floods all over as years has come recently or storm surge from a simple thunderstorm then it gets hot but it’s not the place to be trying to be the life of the party or chilling back or living cheap. You must be wealthy to live in Florida state period regardless of the county or city.

[@Fourwindsofsuccess]

You told the truth here. All of them are indoctrinated by the whole Florida beach life’s and party life. I was born and raised to tell people lurking, Florida is ONLY for those who’s already established and wealthy or you better have a damn good college degree with experience or a nice business established for you or passive income that generates big money. If not you’ll be working 2-3 jobs while roomating with people or renting small tiny effencies off Craigslist barely making it by. Like people can make it but it will be hard as hell because the jobs pay low to. Then yeah Florida has diversity which I loved to because I was born and raised there but there’s other better places. Florida is nice but you better have already been accomplished. It’s not a state to come seek out some huge change or big big opportunities unless you’re already a wealthy person or educated person with a good degree once again I repeat. Lastly, Florida get the most hurricanes like hell. People don’t wanna admit it’s a wide spread of hurricane attacks, like they’re always hit or under a threat from June-December every year. Those floods has gotten worse because of the climate changes there or the erosion because I’ve lived through 5 hurricanes, I always hated those things it’s not a game. Someday I sense Florida will get hit by a category 5 like it always does but this time it won’t take damage like it once did years ago. It’ll be like a Katrina event there if people don’t truly think about buying property there or living there permanently. The weld that will have enough to fly out for safety but those natives, poor people, middle, and working class will suffer that fate. This year they had a horrible flood in my hometown storm surge never gotten that high during my childhood. It was horrible. Broward and Dade are 45 minutes away. They’re not the same city. Broward is far more cleaner/safer but is expensive if you want to live good unless you’ll be trapped roommating or something. Miami areas are rundown and always have shootings on channel 7 news every night or day even on south beach. The nice areas in Miami is what they show, you got to have the money bag to live there. Those hoods in Miami are far dangerous, so people better be safe and be strategic about their move. They think they’re gonna live cheap and party away while chilling, nah every true Floridian know is a grind there if you don’t come from wealth or a well off background. I had a rough upbringing and come from working class from poverty as a kid. It was hard for my relatives some moved out to hit up tiger huger paying states and some stayed there with the struggle because they’re in fear of thinking they’re missing something while not being in Florida. I lived in Fort Lauderdale, West Park, Hollywood, Davie, Plantation, Lauderhill, Sunrise, Lauderdale Lakes, Oakland Park, and Pembroke Pines. All are in broward county not dade, I never lived in Miami because I never felt safe when I would visit there.

[@ChrisVincelli]

Some of them, yes

[@marknewton6984]

Plenty.

Chris: Who thinks of making a right turn in the left lane on a 3 lane Boulevard? Me: Latinos. That's who. BTW, I'm a Puerto Rican who has family in the greater Miami area. This is coming from experience.

[@ChrisVincelli]

OK!

[@JohnP587]

Miami got the Florida men tho

[@ChrisVincelli]

Floridians are awesome, though. Don't you think?

He nailed two things about Miami the less "USA" American culture in miami and la having more post high school education opportunities. The main problem with this video is he is mostly comparing the LA metro area to just the County of miami-dade or wade county 😂. Miami metro includes broward and palm beach counties, which he mentions in the beginning but rarely talks about the beaches or activities in Broward and palm beach counties. For instance, the USA's biggest boat parade and biggest USA air force/navy show (air and sea show) are both in ft Lauderdale, broward county, fl. FYI, Ft Lauderdale is less than 30 miles from downtown miami. Broward and miami counties even share the same 786 area code. He talks about there being an NHL team but they have been in sunrise florida and train in coral springs fl for like 20 years, both cities are an hour away from the places in miami that this video focuses on. Also the largest mall in the southeast usa is in sunrise. Furthermore, you wont find many native black people on miami beach because of the history of racism against blacks in miami beach, they usually go to Hollywood beach in broward county. Miami beach is literally a man made beach, sand on top of concrete...imported sand from the Bahamas to make it a fake white sandy beach. Honestly I think ft Lauderdale is a better beach, just judging based on purely the physical attributes of the beaches. This video also says there aren't any piers in Miami, broward and palm beach counties are filled with piers, smh

Lol you’re funny 😆

@@ChrisVincelli what's so funny? Just gave my two cents as a miami native like you gave your two cents. I like your video but it has common pitfalls like I mentioned

[@ChrisVincelli]

Thanks for the comment!

[@TheKos2Kos]

@@ChrisVincelli respect. Keep it up

[@Cubannerd]

Yup. 100% with ya. Plus most Miami natives that live in MDC don't go to South Beach. We actually go to Key Biscayne, Hollywood and some smaller beaches down south. Miami Beach is overcrowded with tourists.

Thanks for the video. I’m from LA and am considering Miami Spring 2022. I’m a creative and am seeking employment so that I can move.

[@palomahealing5073]

I grew up there for my 1st 27 years, but having lived here now in Vegas for 35! I think now I'm gonna do a (going back to my roots type of thing)...cos Vegas is boring. It is very quiet and chill, and really Not alot of traffic? But as long as you get into the routine in Miami of not going out for shopping after like 2:30 or 3pm, then you're ok..the traffic Sucks over there. I really got tired of that, though! 🤪🥴🥴🥴

[@NosTikGaming]

Uggh. LA is starting to suck. Too many homeless too. Plus it’s getting dirtier. Is there a big homeless problem in Miami?

[@ChrisVincelli]

Not a big homeless problem in Miami. Why did LA get so bad?

[@NosTikGaming]

@@ChrisVincelli people and politicians let it happen. The fact that they weren’t doing anything in the first place made it grow.

[@sab.8849]

I live in LA but travel to Miami every year .Miami is very clean and no homeless problem there .

[@jasonwright9405]

Smmmmoooggg days. Went there in late 80s. Couldn’t breath properly. Dirty polluted air

Great video dude
