At first I was thinking that your disenchantment with Miami stemmed from living in Mass. for too long.  I don't think that's the case, though.  Well, maybe a little bit, but not entirely.  I've only moved as far as an hour from my childhood home.  When I lived there I didn't see the poverty, I saw instead the community bonded in their trials.  But when I go back I see the empty mills and factories, the roads in disrepair.  Its hard to go back and see "home" through a new pair of eyes.
