I realize there are some cases that you just can't account for, but

You can go through the Miami class B. Good luck getting cleared through there in
a VFR 150. You can go over the top of Miami class B (long way to climb in a 150,
but possible). You can go east of the class B over the ocean, or you can go west
of the class B over the swamp.

Are you suggesting that it is reasonable to fly in such a case simply because
it's difficult (or impossible) to find a safer route?

I guess everyone will have their own personal safety margins, but if
I was unable to come up with a way to safely make the flight, I would
not fly. Perhaps this is simply due to my lack of experience.
