More diverse/international/cosmopolitan: "SF Bay Area" or South Florida (live, place)

[Huge Foodie 215]

These two areas are kind of niche areas for different parts of the world in terms of immigration patterns ("Bay Area" for Asians and South Florida for Caribbean/Latin Americans)

I was wondering what you guys think is the more diverse/international/cosmopolitan region

"SF Bay Area" (San Francisco's CSA) or South Florida (Miami MSA)

LOL I'm staying clear of this thread, I've already spent enough time on his subject.

Voted in the poll; I think I'll stay out of this mudslinging match though...

In my opinion:

The Bay Area is more diverse and multicultural

Miami is more international

[OyCrumbler]

Pretty much equal, but in different ways since diverse, international and cosmopolitan are all a bit different from each other.

I know but there are at least 100 languages spoken in the Bay Area

People here really ARE sleeping on South Florida.

Unlike the Bay Area, South Florida has ethnicities and nationalities in SIGNIFICANT NUMBERS from every single Central, South, and Carribbean country, in addition to a very cosmopolitan European population.

I feel like the Bay Area is dominated by a few Asian groups (Chinese, Filipinos, Indians, and Vietnamese) and Mexicans.

So that is 5 countries vs. the more than 20 countries that make up this hemisphere.

Do Carribbean Blacks and non-Mexican Latinos count less in the cosmopolitan sphere?

I think its so fla based upon my understanding of international/cosmopolitan. I translate that to mean unaffordable place to live with no hope of getting a job in the area either. SF Bay area has high tech with jobs so it isnt a fit but so. fla is a match with tourism as its main industry, jobs are scare and dont pay enough to live there.
