LOL. I can guarantee you the vast majority of Philadelphians have literally no desire to live in Miami or be associated with Manhattan.

I can guarantee you they do. I know your pride is hurt, but I live in Miami Beach, way too many of you down here on vacation or even trying to move here. I see your pasty bodies every single day I walk to my town house

It has nothing to do with pride, but it simply doesn't make sense. What you've alluded to is exactly what people go to Miami for -- a nice winter respite from the cold and snow. But that is far from a desire to live there.

I, myself, just got back from a vacation down South, and while I enjoyed it thoroughly, I'm quite happy with and greatly prefer life in the Northeast for a multitude of reasons. That's a very common sentiment among Northerners.

Same with NYC, so I guess despite the population growth, more New Yorkers wanna be in Miami, right?

If that opinion helps you sleep at night. Than you can have your precious Philly.

Pittsburgh is larger than any city in Florida except Miami. Tampa is similarly sized but Jacksonville? That's comical. Cleveland is only 2.1 million. You clearly don't know anything about city size. Philly is larger than any city in Florida including Miami. Its a joke you even think a city like Jacksonville is more" big time" that philly or Pittsburgh.

California, Florida, Hawaii, Texas, and NYS are #1-10 in most desirable states folks most want to live in. They are always on the list.

Typical to see Phillies mentioning their irrelevant state. Philadelphians dont want to accept how lowly they are

Harris Interactive: Harris Polls > California Stands Out as the State Where Americans Most

Philly is always one of the least desirable cities polled every year. It has never been voted as desirable and the city is 200k cheaper than the other cities in the NE. So.....
