    Having lived in Miami for 40+ years I have to disagree with the gentleman. There are many cliques in this city and they are NOT welcoming to outsiders. I see this over and over again. Miami is a very lonely and isolating place to live and yes the people are very shallow. Anyone who tells me they want to move to Miami I strongly caution them not to.

      That’s probably true that there are cliques in Miami but I don’t know because I don’t live there but I’m guessing in most places there are groups that aren’t welcoming to outsiders but in some cities towns there might be people that are more welcoming to outsiders than others.
      Where I live people have their own groups and are not so welcoming so I have to find a different place :(

    As a resident here-this place becomes more and more entitled, self absorbed and shallow every day. Even though English is spoken here widely, yes it is a very alienating place if you don’t speak or are not fluent in Spanish.

    • @pirette08
      @pirette08 2 ปีที่แล้ว +25

      Sad but true. As a bilingual person I can understand the frustration. Even knowing two languages, I saw spanish only speakers get promoted before I was simply because of their "connections". There's some super markets that will legit talk shit about customers who don'tknow Spanish. The entitlement that a specific group of Hispanics hold in Miami is so infuriating. You're still a part of the US, don't alienate english speaking locals.

    one time when I asked a local bus driver about if they stopped at a certain place and he didn’t understand me at all in English and I can actually change to Spanish even though I’m Anglo but I think public bus drivers should speak English also and be able to ask answer basic questions in English at least because not everybody can speak Spanish as a second language.

The early to late 90s was one of the hottest places to be. Fashion, celebrities, internationals, locals and tourists from everywhere in a 15 x 17 block radius. Literally a party 7 days a week from South Beach(Lincoln Road, Ocean Drive, Collins Ave, Washington Blvd.), Coconut Grove, Key Biscayne to Fort Lauderdale.
    After 2000, Miami/South Beach went to crap. Totally ghetto and hasn't been worth going again. All the local flavor that it used to have is gone. I only go there to a couple of my old spots and leave promptly.

Most people can speak a little English if they must, but don't expect it. The expectation is for the visitor to be fluent in Spanish. Last, south Florida is a melting pot of people from all over the world, not just Caribbean & South America. Plenty of immigrant Russians, Poles, & Vietnamese.

    As a teen in the 80s, I was always intrigued by Miami and Miami Vice was my favorite TV show. Back then, I always said I want to live in Miami. I did my first vacation in Miami about 5 years ago to South Beach Miami and just fell in love with the city and surrounding areas (including Ft. Lauderdale/Plantation/Oakland Park). Told my wife, that's were we need to be to retire. Did a second vacation there this past March, but stayed in North Beach Miami. I did notice a big change; especially in Wynwood. When there 5 years ago, it was kinda of empty. Just picture taking of all the graffiti. This past trip, this one particular area was now was charging $15 a person to enter (I believe that was the price) just to take pictures, lots of restaurants, shops and some good breweries and it was packed with tourist. As you said in this video, it's very hip now. Downtown was much quieter 5 years ago to. Now, it's "happening". Liberty City and Overtown is the "hood," but I felt safe there (unlike here in some Los Angeles hoods). Looking at real estate prices, I was like wow ... this almost like Southern California prices now vs 5 years ago. Still, I LOVE South Florida and hope to retire there. As for the people, I found they were not rude at all. People were nice and welcoming to my family everywhere we went in South Florida/Miami. Love the politics of the State and DeSantis. I do agree drivers there suck; especially on the freeways. The one thing that struck me odd was as for Hispanics, there were all types expect Mexicans. Here in Southern California, it's all Mexicans. I was in a Cuban Cigar lounge in South Beach, and the owner said after being there for 15 years, he has never met a Mexican. Regardless of the changes, Florida (the Southern part) is still my #1 State choice to retire to. Miami is my top choice, but if out reach Florida has a lot of great beach cities that I would consider as an alternative (looking on the opposite side at cities like Ft Myers)! Also, I like the fact it's location makes it "cheap" to travel to Caribbean counties.

    I've lived here my entire life. It's a great place for yuppies to live in and then dip out when they want to start a family. If you have the money and you have youthful energy, the city will pamper you and make you feel like you own the world. If you're poor everything is an uphill battle. I grew up lower middle class and can now consider myself upper class (for a young single dude), I've experienced almost every part of that spectrum. People here range from mostly kind to extremely shallow and cold, again, depending on where they are in that socioeconomic ladder. It's difficult to make friends here because strangers generally aren't very friendly lol. I would say the biggest downside of Miami is the way people are, huge peacock culture due to the way Latino culture is, everything is a competition, even in everyday situations like standing in line at the grocery store (yes people will try to cut in front of you if they can get away with it). I would say the uptick in transplants have brought some upsides. Yes the city is much more expensive, but it's much more culturally diverse now, and generally people moving here from other places are friendlier and easier to get along with. Raising a family can be difficult if you're not mega rich and can afford private school tuition, the public school system here is extremely lacking and most schools are pretty lackluster.

      When I was in CA I saw addicts, homeless, violence everywhere, trashed cities, etc... as the norm. But when I left to a red it was so different for the better it was clean, very minimal litters, stable, my belongings didn't gotten stolen when I went to the restroom in a restaurant, etc... so I realized the "blue" screw me off (or something?) all this time!

      Yeah I was waiting for him to cover Coconut Grove, Kendall, Coral Gables but he concentrated on the northern part of Miami which is too bad.

    Median income is only 44k how can people afford the ridiculously high cost of living

      They can afford a high mortgage usually because sometimes, many people from the same family lives under one roof….multigenerational home I think it’s called, and every integrant of the family who works divide the cost of living expenses.
