Little Haiti
Your San Francisco rent clears the average in 31 of Miami's 32 neighborhoods, and falls short in 1.
The average Miami apartment is also about 206 sq ft bigger than the one you're in now.
The same money goes further, and the apartment is bigger. Florida also has no state income tax, which is the other half of the reason your group chat keeps mentioning Miami.
