Poll: Where You Want to Live

Miami might be a nice place to visit, but only 3 percent of those polled by Zogby International would like to live there.

San Francisco led the pack among cities where people would like to live with 13 percent saying they would move there if they could. It was followed by Chicago, Orlando, New York, Las Vegas, and Houston.

The national poll, which was focused on Miami, rated the city’s high and low points and compared it with other major cities in the nation.

About 42 percent of those polled had visited Miami, but they ranked the city sixth out of eight major American cities as a vacation destination. The first choice was San Francisco, garnering 19 percent of the sentiment. Orlando came in second with 14 percent choosing it.

Other than in the east, people are just not that familiar with Myrtle Beach. That's a shame, too.
I think we have more to offer than Miami...other than year round heat. And Orlando is utterly miserable in the summer. Maybe our new Hard Rock park will put us more on the map.
