I've been thinking about 's "Cities and Ambition" as SF reopens. I'm curious: what is Miami's "message"? paulgraham.com/cities.html
Related: I worked from Maui for much of Jan, was startled by how I felt both much more happy/relaxed and yet much less to summon determination.

So far, the suggestion for Miami's "message" which seems most apt is 's "you should be more entertaining / flamboyant." devonzuegel.com/post/field-not
It's a very unfamiliar message! Not yet sure if/how it'll prove compatible with others' ambitions for a new high-tech hub.
