The internet loves churning out city ranking lists. We love writing about where Miami falls on those lists, so now we look back at all the rankings Miami (whether it be the city, county or general South Florida metro area) obtained this year.
Apparently we have some of the best quality of life in America (by health standards) but also the worst quality of life in America (by economic standards). We also have one of the best singles' scenes, but also are one of the worst places to find love. Miami is also a great place to be a dog, but a horrible place to be a baby.
