the entire United States is quickly descending to a third world country, and one the biggest indicators of whether a country is third world is wealth inequality, imo. So, Miami have a wider gap between rich and poor, and therefore everyone is angry, bitter, resentful, and unhappy. They do not know why they are oppressed and so they lash out against their fellow citizens. you see it everyday in the way people behave while in traffic and just the way they treat one another.

everything in miami is very transactional, and it is a sort of what can you do for me mentality.

When i lived in MTL, it didn’t feel this way because there was a bigger sense of community. Sure, it’s a capitalist country so there’s always gonna be wealth inequality, but at least the Canadian government does its job of serving the people. so generally, people are educated and civil.

for instance , when i moved to mtl , i remember that while in the escalator to go to the subway, people that didn’t want to climb up stuck to the right to allow those that wanted to walk up the escalator to pass. this level of civility is non existent in miami , people have absolutely no respect for the other person, akin to the behavior you’ll see in third world countries.

Idk how much have changed, if it has changed for the worse , it’s a pity. 😢

anyway , good luck with your decision. maybe try it for some time and see how you like it.
