Miami and SD are very different, IMO.
Miami is international, very nonwhite, intense, New Yorky, very un-middle America. San Diego feels all-American, very white for CA standards, heavy military presence, somewhat conservative (old-style conservative, not Trump-style), super laid-back. To me it feels like Iowa on the Pacific, or maybe how LA/OC felt 40-50 years ago.
And obviously there are big demographic differences, with Miami's Carribean and Jewish communities and SD's WASP, Mexican and Asian communities.
Also, Miami feels like a really small version of a global metropolis, while SD feels like a really big version of a small town.
