News: Miami is America's rudest city

Fair or not, locals in Miami are known for being a little aloof.

“They’re multilingual, beautiful, and wealthy,” said the Florida-based travel blogger Christine Austin. “For regular folks, visiting here can feel like stumbling into a nightclub full of supermodels while you’re wearing yoga pants.”

But she insists it’s not mere vanity that makes the residents so brusque: “It's hot here — like, all the time,” she said. “The kind of heat that makes you just want to blame someone.”

Whether it’s the heat or the velvet ropes, Miami made its debut as the No. 1 rudest city, according to Travel + Leisure readers. In the latest America’s Favorite Places survey, voters ranked big cities (with populations over 100,000) for such cosmopolitan features as their world-class museums, chef-driven restaurants, and cocktail lounges. But the survey also scored some quality-of-life features, like how walkable a city is, how safe it feels, and how cordial (or not) the locals seem.

This year’s list of America’s 15 Rudest Cities includes some returning winners — or losers, depending on your prerogative — as well as some shakeups. New York City, for instance, shed its title as the rudest in the land, and only three of the top 15 are located in the stereotypically gruff Northeast. Nine of the surly cities also scored highly for passionate sports fans, so perhaps that in-your-face enthusiasm is rubbing out-of-towners the wrong way.

TOP 15:
Miami
Phoenix
New York
Los Angeles
Philadelphia
Salt Lake City
Boston
Dallas
Colorado Springs
Ann Arbor
Detroit
Las Vegas
Providence
Charlotte
Scottsdale

Interesting

I've heard this a few times. Even some people from Miami admit it

But Colorado Springs being up there invalidates this list. I've never been anywhere more friendly

Chicago seems like the nicest big city in the US
Everybody is welcoming and nice (except for some drivers)

Dallas should be number one rudest people ever.

Are you kidding me? Dallas should be nowhere near this list.

Boston and NYC should've topped this list easily... or really any state located in the north eastern part of the United States. I do not miss having to work with vendors located in those areas. I understand it's just the culture up there in comparison to here in the south (Texas) but still you couldn't pay me enough to live in Boston.

St. Charles

Welp...

I never found Ann Arbor people to be rude, but a lot of people in metro Detroit definitely seem to have a huge chip on their shoulder. I'm also surprised to see Charlotte listed.

Tasteless and poor timing

I believe it, all of South Florida has rude people. They say that people from New Jersey/New York are rude or unfriendly but at least we have manners.. down here nobody has manners.. even service workers treat you like crap as you hand them your money. Its like nobody was taught how to say thank you.

Yep, they're trash
I hate Miami with a passion. Great culture but the people ruin it

Western Central Florida & Western South Florida > The Rest

They're rude because they look good and have hot weather? BYE

I've only been to New York but the Americans have to be some of the kindest people I've met!

Travel + Leisure has some of the worst lists ever, so this is invalid
