Miami's skyline still resembles Tampa's with more condo clusters.
Another thing to note is that Miami's general metro is greatly stretched out along a coastal strip. Houston and L.A. metros are sprawling blobs.
Russians? Russia doesn't even have a consulate in Miami. Russians in Miami in need of consular services are SOL and need to get in touch with the Russian Embassy in D.C.
Russian Consulates exist in both Houston and California (though not in L.A.)...yet none in Florida.
The Russian Consulate in Houston described for it: "Russian community in the area is rapidly increasing in numbers and its needs for consular services. Russian community in the area is rapidly increasing in numbers and its needs for consular services."
The Asian and Mexican aspects of Houston and L.A. are extremely huge and well-connected, which is really the bottom line.
In all, not to discount the Jewish or Russian populations but that comes close to nit-picking on this matter...
yup, nothing alike!
umm well Miami and LA, and for obvious reasons that fellow Miamians and angelinos have posted but I think its just the incredible attraction that both cities have for celebrities, after all Miami is the playground of america's celebrities.
Being from Houston I have visited LA twice and on both occasions I saw two similarities. The first is the sprawled out nature of LA, albeit Houston is sprawled out in a smaller area and less dense(Who is sprawled out MORE than LA?) The other is the LARGE mexican population and culture that I am very familiar with in Houston. Some parts of Houston seemed similar to some parts of LA because of the large population of mexicans and the culture that comes with it. I believe LA, followed by San Antonio and Houston have the largest mexican populations outside of Mexico; please correct me if I'm wrong.
Lately, I've been extremely interested in Miami and Houston, and I currently live in Los Angeles right now.
I must say that I gotta show a lot of love for both of these cities. My friend and I have been discussing going on a road trip down I-10 from here to Florida just to see what the Sunbelt has to offer (of course, major sunbelt metros like DFW and Atlanta are on I-20, but those will be for another trip!)
What they all have in common though: People on City Data generally dislike all three for the same exact reason! Throw in Phoenix, DFW, and Atlanta, and you will have the 6 most hated metro areas on this site. However, the thing about LA, Miami, and Houston is that they are all coastal metros with large sea ports connecting the United States with the rest of the world.
Generally though, even though they are all sunbelt metros, they all grew up/came to age at extremely different times in the 20th century, so there are slight variations to how the layout is designed.
I'm glad that all these places are part of the United States. We wouldn't be where we are without them

3 very important Sunbelt cities. These 3 are the Sunbelts best.
Miami and LA both have the coasts, movie stars, etc.
Kind of hard to jet ski or surf fish in Houston.
Never been to Houston, have you? Houston's Hobby airport is less than 40 minutes from the beach on Galveston Island. Plenty of surf fishing, I do it all the time, and plenty of jet skiing in the bay, though I prefer to kayak.

You do realize that you can jet ski right to downtown Miami or on the beaches located inside LA. 40min drive to the beach is pretty far for many in LA and everyone in Miami.
Old thread anyway....
