I think city data has exhausted the debates about CA and TX being #1 and 2 respectiveley...now I'd like to know what you think is the 3rd most important? Florida and its beaches? NY and wallstreet? Illinois and chicago?

That is insulting. Florida doesn't come anywhere NEAR NY. You are comparing Wall Street with BEACHES?

I cannot believe a person from NY would compare Wall St. with beaches.

Yes it does, I don't base my opinion on the just the NYC area. Florida has many large cities, a lot of tourism, NASA, etc., NY has many large cities, a lot of tourism and NYC is the financial capital of the world.

Florida is way more than just beaches and New York is more than way more than just Wall Street.

Both NY and FL are nearly identical in size (population & area).

Florida's GDP ranks 4th and New York's GDP ranks 3rd so they are pretty close.

What industry does FL have??? Tourism is their top industry. Agriculture, maybe a little bit, but nowhere near other states.

You remind me of me when I was 17 years old. I saw Florida as THE place and wanted to relocate there and thought it was everything I imagined. Until I started to go more, I realized it wasn't what I imagined. Also with my parents moving there (not by choice). My dad realized that too. It's much different living somewhere vs. vacationing there.
