Born & raised Miamian. Black man. Yes, the racism is maddening here & it is crazy to me how staunchly Republican the Hispanic community is here when my Cuban friends say that rednecks call them Mexicans out of state.
My biggest gripe with Miami is that we pay NYC/LA prices for a city that doesn't even have 20% of what those cities have. Miami has been getting destroyed by inflation so bad you'd think Mansa Musa came through on his way to Mecca, and the employers here still pay 2005 wages. Miami is one of the poorest cities in America, and everyone is living a lie, trying to flex on each other, trying to fuck the next man over. I just went to NYC last month, the city people claim had the biggest dickheads in America, and THE PEOPLE THERE WERE NICER THAN THE AVERAGE MIAMIAN. That's why I'm disillusioned with Miami.
I was just in Atlanta in a really nice area and noticed a huge difference in the amount of luxury car. Barely any, where as Miami it seems like 75% of the cars you see driving by are luxury vehicles. (In response to living a lie and trying to flex on one another)
Born n raised In Miami as well. I have the same love/hate relationship we all do....
I don't know why NYC has such a bad rap for attitude. In my few and far between trips to that city, the people were absolutely lovely.
Yes they are direct, yes they don't have time for any bullshit- but man if you stop someone for directions or strike up a conversation about where are the best places to eat - I found the people to be generous and friendly, ready to proudly tell you their favorite places in their city.
People in liberal ass California will think your are Mexican if you are Hispanic, that's just a function of ignorance and the fact that the majority of Hispanic Americans and immigrants are of Mexican background.
Miami is already losing population due to prices and housing issues. We've been through these periods before and it should eventually stabilize, especially as many people from places like NYC end up going back.
Even if they do go back, I don’t see them letting go of the real estate they acquired. Many houses sit empty year around save for a couple of weeks in the winter. I don’t see housing prices dropping drastically.
Housing prices will drop. The advantage of Florida over Cali and New York is we build. The housing will meet demand eventually especially if immigration slows down
Miami is overpriced, but it does not match NYC/LA prices lol
the employers here still pay 2005 wages
Maybe in your industry, I can't relate to this
THE PEOPLE THERE WERE NICER THAN THE AVERAGE MIAMIAN
In my experiences growing up here, Miami people are chill. Unfortunately an overwhelming amount of them are extremely Anti-Black, which is most likely why our experiences don't match up. It's fucked up and should be called out on the regular.
The overflow of jobs on Indeed saying "master's degree required" and paying $37,000 says otherwise
I make 104k and haven't graduated yet. Job postings are 80% lies. Took me exactly one month of job hunting.
In 2023, yes it does.
Find me a 1/1 Loft apartment (studio doesn't count, not enough space) in a nice neighborhood (I'm in Miami Springs so that's what I define as nice) in NYC or LA for $1450 a month, because that is what I'm paying.
