Hey now, I'd love to go to Cali. And don't group the whole state of Florida with the rest of the eastcoasters north of FLA. Florida is different. I would rather not be grouped with the rest of the east coast, because they look down on Florida also. I know you've experienced the condescending northerners living in Florida.
This sounds more like the words of Floridians I'm used to interacting with.

I have always noticed that the bitter people of California, wait for the coldest day of the year in Florida (or in this case 25 years – lol)…to say “see Florida is no warmer than southern California in winter. Did you notice the locations of the people who were so “adamant” about saying Miami was not tropical…they were all from California. That should tell you something.
LOL where have you "always noticed" this?? How many Californians are you going to claim have done this? Do you usually receive a flurry of emails from random Californians right on the exact coldest day in Florida saying "Ha! We're warmer than you today, you guys suck!" or does this bitterness become apparent to you in the form of prank callers harassing you from CA? Do tell, I'd love to hear your explanation LMAO.
What exactly is it you seem to think has CA people as bitter as you claim? Where's the logic? The locations of these "adamant" (lol) people SHOULD actually tell you something. It should tell you that Californians are more familiar with and less apt to forget about Hawaii, and that looking at a poll asking which US city is the most tropical will trigger us to look for Honolulu, considering its the only major US city that exists IN THE TROPICS. We don't gain anything from Miami's temperature classification not being tropical (there was just evidence to the contrary) and not one of us was trying to have CA cities included since they are not at all tropical - which is one of our state's greatest attributes, our MEDITERRANEAN CLIMATE.
I'm not going to stoop to your level and take jabs at Florida b/c that would be unnecessary and I have nothing against the state. Fortunately for FL you are not very representative of the general attitude of Floridians here on C-D.

Dude how do you come up with this ridiculous crap? Californians don't generally care in the slightest bit what kind of climate a state 3000 miles away would have! Why, in your warped mind, would you even consider believing such nonsense? LOL you've got serious issues. And why is it so hard for you to grasp that we don't at all care to have nor wish we had a tropical climate here in CA! As has already been stated, our Mediterranean climate is more desirable lol, you're not even applying logic to this. Man you must subscribe to all kinds of whacked out conspiracy theories.

Great question. So why do you do it?

You're not very sharp, are you? You must suffer from that same reading disability you suggested to Montclair if you missed the fact that there was a consensus between basically everyone that Miami is as tropical as you can get on the mainland US. Try and keep up.
jman650: Your "crowded city" list is bogus! Miami crowded? Sure, in a few tourist areas, but most of the city is not. Mpls/St Paul? Don't think so, I live here. I suspect they used the MSA population as the numerator, with the city land area as the denominator. Detroit? It's half trhe size it was 40 years ago, and even then, the bulk of the residences are one story bungalows, and other detached single occupant houses. San Francisco? Yes, it is dense, but the only areas so "crowded" as to possibly threaten someone's health would be the older parts of Chinatown.

I can't speak on that b/c I have never been to Miami or Minneapolis, and I found Detroit surprising as well. But keep in mind that I didn't create that list, I only attempted to find out specifically what major cities ranked as the most crowded and that's what came up. My point, however, was made and is still very valid: there is obviously no shortage of crowding in cities along the Eastern seaboard. Anything in that list not on the East Coast was irrelevant to what I was getting at.
The other poster made the moronic claim of "no crowds" existing in this countries most heavily-populated region, which I provided evidence to the contrary of (as though we all didn't already know how incorrect that statement was). There was no specification as to health hazards and such; just a claim of crowds being non-existent. Population density would immediately counter that claim, and I'm not even sure where in CA he had in mind when he was describing the East as being superior for that reason.
If you'd prefer a different list, here's one of the 50 most densely populated cities in the US. #'s 1-6 are all in the East Coast, as well as a total of 32 out of that 50.
Where you at wavehunter? You certainly took a beating since your last post!
Of course Miami is the most tropical in the continental U.S, but to think people living in SoCal are bitter because it's not more like Miami is hilarious. They go to Hawaii for a REAL tropical setting. Get real...
This might be first and only poll I've ever seen Miami run away with so you must be gloating now.
The FLA cities listed are in a Humid Subtropical climate zone, and therefore, have some tropical and some midlatitude characteristics.
LA and SD are Mediterranean, strictly a midlatitude type (although SD is at the extreme southern limit of that zone and is borderline Fog Desert - a rare subtropical zone).

Orlando is the only city on the list in a "Humid SubTropical Zone" Miami is "True Tropical"

I concede the Keys have a tropical wet - dry climate. But not Miami.
