And yet tens of thousands of extremely wealthy people from all over the world have moved to Miami and bought homes.
That’s a pretty straightforward way to measure how desirable a location is: How many rich people (rich enough not to worry about work or the job market) who aren’t from the community choose to relocate or have second (or third) homes there.
Miami, Tampa Bay, San Jose, LA, New York - ####loads
Winnipeg, Edmonton, Calgary, Ottawa - zero
Us middle-class wage slaves might have different priorities. But the numbers don’t lie - rich people like hot weather, beaches, year-around golf, and all the wonderful things (high-end restaurants, night-clubs, shopping, etc) that come with large concentrations of other rich people. The player rankings of the most desirable NHL cities that sometimes appear in places like the Hockey News and Athletic bear out those priorities.
