For Miami it includes the East Coast up to NYC (but not Boston), the Southeast to Dallas, Southeastern Mexico including Cancun, most of Central America (except Panama), Cartagena Colombia, and some of the Caribbean including Bahamas, Cuba, Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and Haiti. It excludes Chicago, most of the Eastern Caribbean resort islands, Canada, and Mexico City.

Mexico City and Chicago are within a stones throw away of that radius, so they can count as well. If you have your own jet, you probably could do them in 2 hours + 10-20 minutes.

This within two hour flight argument is funny. By the time you arrive at the airport, check bags, go through screening and boarding time that's an additional 1.5 hours added on to the flight time. Add another 30 minutes after you land to claim luggage and it's a 4 hour ordeal. If you need to use plane routes to make a point then you have already lost this debate.

Meh, you could say the same for Cabo and SFO. You guys drew the line, I just showed you where it was.

- By everyone that has ever used proximate location arguement on City-Data.
For me personally, I notice that the people that live in Southeast Florida couldn't give an eff about hiking or mountain climbing or the like, they know they live in the wrong place for that. The people here are more into social scene and to a lessor extent water activities for recreation. Me personally, I am more of a water person than a nightlife type and I don't see any deficiencies in Miami's offerings.
We have a coastline that we can do more than just look at, we can use it for deep sea diving or swimming, boating, and especially jet skiing or the like.
Both Southeast Florida and San Francisco Bay Area have enough going on within their boundaries, this argument doesn't need to be as inane as it has been. Both places also have a league of world class destinations offered non-stop via airport, so again, this inane debate does not need to be happening like this.

It's not funny at all, a 2 hour flight with a lot of connections can be cheap for those who fly commercial. For those who have their own planes, or know people with their own planes, you might as well add an hour at most to flying time. And then ofc transportation to and from the airport. What's the difference then if you need 3-4 hours to drive someplace for example? Like Tahoe.

I'd be fine with adding Cabo San Lucas to San Francisco's sphere, your radius is a good one, just not to be too much of a stickler with it. After all, a plane needs to get his waypoints from traffic control, and will not always fly the shortest path anyway, not to mention the different speeds one can fly.

One more thing to consider, skiing/snowboarding/hiking is about 3-4 hours away from someone in San Francisco to Tahoe. Cool.
From my house in Miami Beach, I can from door to wading in water, be in 5 minutes by foot. For someone in Miami, he can be 30 minutes. This is the difference, so the addition of Tahoe has to be weighed accordingly, it's less accessible than the beaches and water sports in Miami.
If you're a flashy, in your face, high-roller type who loves dance clubs and driving with the top down in a Ferrari, choose Miami.
If you're down to earth, artsy, and someone who loves to see an acoustic artist at a coffee shop after riding the street car, choose San Fran.
That simple, really.
I haven't been to Miami in like a decade, but they are VERY different cities.
But so many interesting similarities!
