What does that have to do with being a real city? Real City as in NYC? Or fake cities as in the City in Resident Evil?

New Jersey lost jobs in September and October, it's not a recovery.
And Florida it's normal because the recovery didn't start, it's expected to start in 2011 and boom in 2012 !

I think he was implying that Miami probably has the most complete economy (though they're heavily reliant on tourism too it seems)...there's no need to jump all over it. Florida is in a bad place right now...that's the truth.

Population growth isn't always a good thing though...it really depends on who is moving there. Especially when speaking about a state who is having troubles like Florida is.

BLS
USA Unemployment Rate: 9.0%

Miami: 11.8%
Tampa: 11.8%
Orlando: 11.2%
Jacksonville: 10.9%

US Office Vacancy Rate: 17.8%

Miami
CBD: 24.4%
Suburban: 18.5%

Tampa
CBD: 20.0%
Suburban: 19.4%

Orlando:
CBD: 19.5%
Suburban: 20.1%

Jacksonville:
CBD: 24%
Suburban: 22%

Your claim that Florida doesn't need to recover from anything and that all that is needed is more people is extremely misguided.

NY recovered because the finance was back, Florida will recover because tourism/housing will come back.That's simple.

Jacksonville & Miami-Fort Lauderdale it would be Panamax 2014. Houston is also getting in on that too.

Jacksonville just got the approval to build a brand new port terminal, and is getting more transportation related sectors in its economy. I don't know about Miami directly, but I do recount them being on the request list to expand their terminals and port for Panamax 2014 also.
