I really enjoy both cities. To live I wouldnt hesitate to say San Diego, to visit its a toss up. Being here in Texas, a winter getaway in Miami is always great. San Diego you can really visit year round though.
Im not surprised San Diego is winning poll, just by how much....
Miami does blow San Diego away in culture and you haven't proved otherwise. Instead, you resulted to saying Miami has a douchebag culture and San Diego is intellectually superior.
I never said San Diego was intellectually superior to Miami. But San Diego clearly has a more educated population.

Miami by a MILE for me... Warmer weather, vastly better nightlife, Miami is more of an international destination with more tourism... Miamis' beaches are far better for swimming/laying out, although I will admit that San Diegos beaches are more "scenic."
There's just something about that south Florida vibe that I love.. The Miami metropolitan area is also significantly larger than San Diego... I also prefer the east coast of the US, and I like that Miami is a short flight from New York, Boston, Philly, DC, Atlanta, New Orleans, as well destinations all throughout the Caribbean..etc..etc.
Being that I'm single and I love good nightlife, I'd have to go with Miami. I lived in SD for 5 years, and although the city is beautiful, it's very dull.. Miami just feels like more of an exciting place.. I also find the women in Miami to be more consistently beautiful (I realize that's subjective though). Florida also has no state tax, and given the line of work I'm in, that's very important..
To LIVE? San Diego.
Miami is cool for a weekend visit, but anything longer and I'd go insane.
There are nice areas in the metro, though. I was just in Weston, and it's a very enjoyable town.

They are... My only gripe with that is that they all look like they used the same BBL surgeon. And the culture down there is VEEEERRRRY superficial.
