As if on cue, this came across my news feed today:
Miami Rents Are Wildly Unaffordable for Average Residents
It's true. When I lived there rent alone was more than half of my monthly income. What surprised me about the article is that the percent of rent to income for San Francisco is lower than Miami. I don't want to move to San Fran, but I was considering California since I already did Florida. And California is a great place to be for tech jobs.
I'll have to keep looking.

Getting that urge to roam again
I've been thinking the last few days... what if... what if I moved back to Miami?
There's really nothing for me here. And I think if I went this time I could at least get a good job since I am in school now. Last time it was pretty bad because I was stuck in minimum wage jobs and that is pretty brutal there.
But I was thinking the other day that Miami is a great place for technology, so maybe it would be a good place for me to go for web development and software development. I would want to have at least my Associates completed before I go. And then I can complete my Bachelors at one of the schools there or take online classes here. The more I think about it, the more it seems like a really good idea.
So many things have popped up in the last few days that put Miami in my mind. My supervisor at work had a frog on her desk. It looked familiar so I asked her about it. Sure enough, it was a coqui frog! And then I was craving Cuban coffee yesterday and then today I read that David's Cafe is closing :'( I can't believe it!
I have to think about it. But I am really feeling the pull to go back. Or go somewhere. The wind is blowing again. It is calling me. It's time to go.
