I had a pretty negative experience at Miami Intl with TSA. They were complete dicks.

pirate-blues said: I just came back from a trip to Miami and then the keys. Florida was beautiful and the people down there are so nice. Even the TSA staff at the Miami airport were super friendly and outgoing, I was shocked. Even though I have family in the Carolinas I was pretty shocked by how outgoing people are and how readily a stranger will come up to you and touch you(this always happens with women when I'm shopping down there, they'll just grab the dress you tried on to feel the material - they're always really polite and it doesn't bother me..but if they did that in Philly..). But Florida is just not the place for me . I need seasons, I hate the cold but I love winter, I need dense walkable cities that sometimes make me feel like a canned sardine, with world class art and music scenes. The great thing about living in the Bos-Wash corridor is how much is going on between the cities in terms of artists and bands traveling and touring, the proximity of the cities strengthens the scenes more because many musicians and artists are touring who could not afford to tour if it wasn't so easy to hop on a train or in a car and be in the next big city in a relatively short period of time - at least that's how I feel.
I wish I could get into Florida as a place to set up camp for some time, because I'm a fucking scuba diver and that SUCKS when you live in the NE, and Miami is a really great world class city(I'm not familiar with the rest of Florida, tbh) - but I just can't. Different strokes.
But yeah, OP, if you want a big city, don't automatically chalk it up to "NYC or California" that's just... People who dismiss the rest of this country as "everything in between" are fools that are missing out on a lot of beautiful places and people and a lot of great cities in between. Good luck if you move, it can be hard being alone in a new city when you don't have a job or school to use to make new friends - so if and when you move I would definitely suggest making sure you've got one or the other going on in whatever place you move to. Otherwise it's lonely as fuck until you start meeting people.
but you said it yourself, you had SOOOO much fun in Miami, and love the North East. You understand when you go to places like California and Washington and Texas, it's like the U.S. of A. lot's of white people and the culture seems homogenous even. In the east coast Miami feels like south America and New York seems like Italy. lol. But really, they culture pots of cities, Seattle is full of white people and blacks and Chinese, and everyone has an American accent. It's ridiculous. Lol, that's the U.S.A. that everyone LOOOOVVES so much. Whitey land. I'd prefer Europe myself, if it wasn't so damn crowded and socialist. I like culture.
If you are just coming to visit go anywhere in the U.S. it'll be fun for a vacation. Kind of like the difference between living in the Philippines and going to visit. If you live there, you will experience extreme starving in a 3rd world climate. If you visit, it'll be paradise by the beach and cruise ships, 5 star restaurants etc. you gotta find out for yourself

Houston, because you have to make a living and you want to live in a nice neighborhood where peeps mind their own business and you can do what you want to do. I've traveled all over this country on business and for pleasure and I keep coming back to Houston. Yeah we have our share of problems and yes we have some serious challenges facing us, but the politics are manageable, the climate is more than okay and life in the suburbs is pretty darn good. You can raise a family, raise a crop and raise hell all in one safe place.

dude if you were in california and thought it was a homogenous whitebread culture, you need to venture out of orange county or the inland empire. even then thats not true. california in general is like the definition of the american melting pot.

Lol, I don't entirely understand what you're getting at. Sorry, my heads all foggy and I feel like ass so it might just be me.
I do agree that places will ALWAYS be better when you're just visiting. Like, I'd be soo reluctant to move to Boston because I visit it and love it often and my best friend lives there and it is legitimately my happy place as such because whenever I'm there I'm just kickin' it with people I love and there are no responsibilities. Actually living there would ruin that hah. And I loved Miami because it's a fun lively city with some great-ass food, I'd sooner live their than down in the keys(which I loooooved even more because I was a tourist on vacation, and the ocean is right there and it's so so beautiful) but I don't think I'd ever consider it a destination and want to live there. The field I'm going into has the best opportunities in coastal big cities, Chicago, and Vegas as it's in live entertainment technology/design. Often times the work is short term and the NE is perfect because I can take other opportunities in other cities without really overturning my life. I am 20 and born and raised in good ol' Pennsyltucky before I moved here. It was a a big enough difference for me to keep me satisfied and I'd hope that I would move to a different section of the country, just for a bit.
As for whitebread, I live in a city that's not really all that whitebread seeing as it's majority black lol. I love this city and I love the people, crazy as they are. I do wish that we had the diversity of NYC where every other person you talk to is from half way around the world - but NYC is a monstrous size and a global destination on a scale that is far larger than anything else the US has got. NYC is great to visit and stay with friends who'll put you up for free, after I finish school and get a couple years of work experience I might look into some hoods in the other boroughs - but the COL is just ridiculously high and I might end up feeling a bit too much like a sardine. Manhattan is most likely out of the question, I'm not gonna be able to afford that shit in my early 20's, damn.

I will however travel the country extensively before I settle anywhere. I am young, but thus far I have lived in downstate NY most of my life about an hour north of NYC and I like the Hudson valley. I just recently moved to upstate NY and its kind of shitty but whatever I know I won't be here for an extended period of time.

Naw its legal now.
It has a grey area yes, but its legal to possess. And cops really don't give a shit especially in Seattle, its officially lower priority than jaywalking there.
