best places to live/work/exist as a 36 yo single child-free Black woman who doesn’t drive?

Greetings! I moved to Miami from Seattle in 2024 for my dream job in public education and was unceremoniously let go via contract non-renewal after 1 school year. I moved here on my own and paid for it all out of pocket.

Now, I’ve been out of meaningful work for a year and have no idea what to do with my life since it seems to have lost all purpose and I have nothing to live for, etc. etc. I am also down here totally alone, all my family is back in Seattle aka as far away as possible in the continental US. I also have no friends/community.

Moving back home to Seattle is not an option because a) I hate it there and b) it’s extremely expensive- like wayy more expensive than Miami. Where else in South Florida would be a good place to relocate to? Nothing is keeping me where I am and I can’t afford to move out of state again. I honestly can’t really even afford anything anywhere at this point.

Also, as a non-driver I realize I am limited in options for walkable cities/neighborhoods, but please don’t push “learning to drive” on me - it’s not happening.

My professional background is in the arts (BFA degree in Fine Art 2012) , education (college admissions and high school college advisor), and museum sectors, but since landing then losing my dream job, I am aimless.

Additionally I am chronically single and have an elderly cat so moving somewhere in-state with a better dating pool would be ideal, though I’ve accepted I will most likely die alone at this rate!!!

Any suggestions welcome 🙏🏾
