My wife grew up there, and I worked for a company based there for years, and I can’t really even come up with a good educated guess for that that means.
You could argue that London is past its prime, but you could have made that argument 75 years ago. It still retains its alpha++ designation and it’s the top ranking in the global financial centers index.
But regardless neither Lisbon nor Miami is a peer to NYC right now.
It means more people in Miami are likely to be starting businesses than people here in NYC are. I’m surprised you couldn’t come up with a guess about that.
It just means ambitious. That, I would have thought fairly obviously, encompasses more startups but also people wanting to better their lives in some way.

Yes. Decline and growth take time. Skate to where the puck is going.

So there you go. You aren’t just walking about more startups, you’re talking about the vibe you get from the people living there which is,
so easily influenced by your own bubble that it’s not worth considering. I didn’t guess that’s you meant because how could you be in any way confident enough to make that statement.
As a counter anecdote I know dozens of people from Miami very well, and there’s nothing about them that strikes me as ambitious. It could just be that the people I know (my wife’s friends and family, and coworkers from a startup) aren’t particularly ambitious. But it could equally be true that the people you know from my Miami are the anomaly.
A specific measure like startup rate could just be caused by the regulatory environment in Florida, or any number of things that have nothing to do with the overall level of ambition in Miami.

Well sure if you’re trying to invest in real estate or something.
But I’m talking about finding a city that is comparable to NYC today to compare crime rates.
