But what about summers?

  I spend time north of there and as long as you’re on the ocean summers are awesome. Walking on the beach is just about always great on a hot day since you get sea breeze and can cool off in the water. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but it sure is mine!

  Not OP, but speaking from personal experience and preference, summers in So Fl aren't that bad. It rarely goes above 90, and there's a constant sea breeze. Don't get me wrong, it is hot, but never unbearable.

What about moonlighting? I can do that in CA, and own my output from my own time.

  “Own your output” what does this mean?

    In most employment contracts in the US, the employer owns anything you create, including what you do in your personal time. But not in California, which happens to have a thriving startup culture, many of which were created after work hours.

Just commenting again here to vouch for this statement. I've spent a ton of time in both cities, and Miami is so different but in my opinion miles better. Constant sun and breezes. 8 months of perfect weather. Actual diversity, not just in ethnicity but also walks of life. Awesome little open bars and restaurants all over at any hour. The people - both men and women, are beautiful. Many people dress nicely and with pride - you'll always see men in nice suits and hats, and women in nice dresses. I just found that interesting as it was so different than most other places, reminded me of something from a movie. Miami is criminally underrated. Ultimately I just don't enjoy living in a 'big city', but for anyone that does, I highly recommend giving it a try!
