San Francisco is a magnet for talented, ambitious, creative, brilliant, audacious people. It's hard to argue against this, and by accepting that as true, you must also accept the clear corollary - that there are proportionally more of those extraordinary people in San Francisco and fewer in Miami. And yes, that makes huge difference.
While it may not be politically correct to say that one city is "dumber, less creative, and 'worse at life'," it seems to be politically fine to say San Francisco is filled with creative, smart, "good at life" people. Of course, those statements are logically equivalent, so it's really just politics you are arguing.

- crystaln 13y agoThere's nothing wrong with not being ambitious. Some day I may not be. Until then, I'd rather be around people who are.
- jonknee 13y agoYou can frame it any way you want, especially with vague terms like "talented, ambitious and creative". Art Basel is a world renowned event that surely involves tons of talent, ambition and creativity. Strange that it's in Miami and not in San Francisco. Another true statement is that San Francisco is a magnet for homeless drug addicts. It turns out there are a lot of people in both places and you can find really good and really bad parts of each.
- crystaln 13y agoAll true. I didn't say there were no interesting people in Miami, only that the density is so much higher in San Francisco.
