What exactly does Miami is "Not an american" city mean ? Is it not American because it has a lot of immigrants? Most every big city in America was founded by, and mainly populated by immigrants. Boston ,NYC, Phillly etc, all cities historically packed with immigrants. A city full of immigrants is as American as they come.
It means Miami has the highest percentage of foreign people who are not immigrants or on an immigration path. Due to it being the media and banking hub of south america, there are tons of foreign nationals who live there semi permanently but are not US citizens and don't have plans to be.
If you want to have a home and a family, it really sucks, and it is reflected in the demographics of the area. It is an area that basically has the least children and families out of anywhere in the USA, and the most single men.
Well I got 2 kids and I saw a LOT of kids in the bay area Many are north,east bay and the peninsula. But go to any SF park and it's packed with kids.
Also SF has a TON of new buildings. Springing up like wildfires. North of the golden gate? No the rest of the bay area I'm not sure.
LA as well I know has a lot of new development. Some areas of California are pro building and some parts it's impossible.

I spent 5 years no where near a wal-mart. I have found the best deals on TP are from either CVS or Amazon. I went a very long time never going to a big box shop (target maybe once in 5 years) and always got good deals.
I actually paid MORE the time we went to target for the general household bits and bobs.
Seen the stats but I don't see how it's possible. I went to the science museum there, always packed. The parks where always packed. Even during the day, not just weekends. I had a doc near Lafayette park and got to GG park a lot too. Not often went and it was quite.
I never felt like a rare person with kids in the city.
Now London is different. In London if I went shopping at 7pm with the kids I was the ONLY person on the bus with kids and in the shop likely the only person. During the day too, no kids (most brits don't home school and start daycare early)
So in London yes I felt like the minority with kids, but never in SF.
Never knew that you are a progressive liberal- tree hugger-animal right activist-pro abortion. But guess what? I learn new things here on the message board everyday.
That being said, you should check your control panel. Many dominicans, ricans and mexicans are hitting your rate this post positively button right now.
I would never call myself Pro-abortion, but Yes. I am a pro choice liberal. I got 1 positive post for my last post.
You made my Friday! Texas is a typical southern state - if you say so. Have you ever been to Lubbock? Have you been to Lubbock lately?
I think Texas is it's own entirely unique entity. From an outsiders view, I think it fits in a bit better with southern culture than Northern culture, but I think in general it has a unique stand-alone quality.
If I were born rich and lived in London or Paris, then I wouldn't give a thought about moving to the U.S. Those 2 cities have anything I could possibly want, let alone all the other places that are close by.
Unfortunately, this was not meant to be. :-(
