I am due orders this summer and have been considering 2 jobs in Florida. Both are with Joint Combatant Commands, just different areas of responsibility and locations. 1 is in Tampa and the other is 5 miles west of Miami Int airport.

Thus I am trying to find out which location would be a better fit. I haven't spent much time in either but have been told they drastically different. I am not looking for a downtown urban lifestyle, the burbs are more my speed.

What are housing prices like in both places? What is the car (read pre-80s) scene like in both places? What do you like about one particular area? What don't you like.

Thanks,
Jim
