Miami proper is a lot smaller than NYC. Miami proper is slightly smaller than Manhattan, so it's a lot easier to get a feel for the area. The only downside so far is that it's beneficial to have a car since Florida is so big, but where I am, mostly everything is within a 20 minute walk or less. Tons of people have e-scooters to get to places further away.
Obviously it's scorching hot during the late Spring until the early Fall, but that's why we have a pool, central air, and tons of beaches. Also the nice bay breeze really cools you down, compared to the still air of the NE. The North East is just as bad during June to August (it was literally just as hot and a few days hotter in South Jersey than it was in Miami, go figure), except the air is relatively still, Jones and Rockaway Beach are a hike for most New Yorkers, and the most pools are private. Public pools are usually gross, and I never saw one in Manhattan.
I'd rather sweat my ass off half the year, than freeze my ass off for 3 months and never know what clothes to wear because it's 30F out with 10 mph winds, but it's 65% humidity and you have to walk everywhere or get on a subway car that's 70F when you're dressed for 30F. At least it's consistent down here: what am I going to wear today? Shorts and a T-shirt or opened button-up.
