miami is freaking huge. I'm not really sure what point you're trying to make about it.

also, it's more than just Miami -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Florida_metropolitan_area

I interpreted the comment that I replied to to mean that Dubai being a strip along the coastline meant that it didn't look like a real city. I would say that it's probably more of an indicator that it's got nice beaches than anything else.

Miami was the first strip like city that sprung to mind as a counterexample, but as you say, it is huge, so it probably wasn't the best comparison.
