Driving along the highway, you will see a lot of boarded up buildings and run down crack shacks a few minutes from the beach. Remember the hotel scene in Slum Dog Millionaire? There is a big hotel that went under and is all boarded up right on the beach.
Oh yeah, and when it is huricanne season, you don't want to be living in S. Florida.
But like what Tapioca said. Short term work or vacay doesn't give you the full spectrum of what living in that place is like.
I always enjoy my visits to Hong Kong, but I don't think I would enjoy living/working there in the summer when it is hot and humid or when the typhoons hit.
