Most Europeans do live in Miami Beach but I still would consider most Miami Beach either suburban or a tourist oriented.

If someone wants to live like in Europe they have 2 choices, live in Europe or live in NYC. Nowhere is Miami is even close to that. They try but to me it's fake and no one really wants to walk outside when the temperatures are over 90 degrees for 8 months of the year. The thing is many people enjoy the suburbs, even some that grew up in highly urbanized areas. I personally don't, I would prefer to live in a real urban area with real businesses, not tourist trap businessses like the expensive boutiques and restaurants you find at the beach or miracle mile.

Americans are used to live in desolate places and drive all day, that's why they are always complaining about "rude driving". They spend their entire day driving. Driving in Miami is not nice, a lot of rain, scorching sun that melts some cars (Fiats for example), bad driving not only by illegal immigrants and local yokels but by extremely old people, and you can't drink a pint of two if you drive.

Miami Beach is different.
Yeah. Us suburban folk have no lives outside of our computers--that ten minutes to a friend's house or dining is just too far!
