Mr Griffin should learn about 'geography is destiny' and take a look at a map. Manhattan is situated smack in the middle of the population center that is the ny metro area and more broadly the northeast. Not to mention the top universities of the world harvard, yale to princeton, upenn and the dozens of world class universities in between. And the northeast is geographically a lot closer to europe and european financial capitals than miami is.

What has miami to offer? World class college football teams in florida? Is Tim Tebow going to be running 'goldman sachs south'? Will the miami-havana link replace the nyc-london link?

Miami is a 2.5 hour flight direct from almost every major airport on the east coast. It is beautiful year round. Sorry, but I don't really want my face to hurt when I step outside December through March.

Yes. You just described a wonderful vacation destination. Not a financial capital.

I'd be more worried about hurricanes and flooding than cold manhattan wind.

You just ignored all my points with silly nonsense. Are all the top universities going to migrate south too? Are tens of millions of people going to move to miami as well?

A couple of counterpoints about the weather:

-beautiful year round is subjective; my town had a high of 52F today and was one of the nicest days all year.

-Miami is way too hot for a lot of people (and getting hotter)

you're probably not moisturizing.

regardless, "nice weather" isn't a prerequisite to becoming a financial center.

Fair point about moisturizing :)
