Ahem, Los Angeles > Miami, but it's not a runaway. South Beach > anything in L.A.'s metro.

There is shops on every corner in LA, not in Miami. I love Miami, and moving there next year but I've been to both and it's not even close.
G-d, I wish this were true

Better how? Weather and beaches? Perhaps.

LA has areas that are more ritzy than SoBe (Beverly Hills, SaMo, Manhattan Beach, Hollywood Hills, etc) and areas that are more cultured.

Miami has better beaches, more a "party" city (South Beach), slightly more urban feel, nice intracoastal areas, better quality of roads/infrastructure, and beautiful tropical plants, such as coconuts. Closer to Europe/North East/Caribbean.

Los Angeles has the beauty (ocean, mountains, hills, palm trees), amazing views, better food, shopping (tie), entertainment, "hollywood" feel, skiing 1.5 hour drive, better climate, more diverse and cultural, and more things to see/do.

I love Los Angeles more...
