- Who would have thought there would be so much drama at one of the best beach communities in the USA?
Aww south beach. This place is off the freaking hook. It’s as loud and fancy as you’ve heard it was. You could do an entire hour about this place. Today, it’s very much become a rowdy party spot, and there’s a lot of people who have an opinion on that. It hasn’t always been like this. But that’s the nature of what’s happening in Miami Beach these days.
Miami Beach is a 9-mile long barrier island just off the coast of Miami proper. We’re going to see the whole island - all three neighborhoods - north beach, mid beach, and yes, a lot of south beach. Each part of the island is very different from one another.
South Beach is where we’ll spend a big portion of this video. That’s because there’s a lot to talk about. Mid beach is much more chill and family friendly. It’s a nice place to be. The north end of Miami Beach is mostly fancy homes.
But it’s the South Beach parties that are the talk of the town. Or, should i say parTIES. Cause this place is off the chain these days. It’s so hoppin down here now that locals are asking the city to shut it down.

Hi Nick💃🏻HOLLYWOOD BEACH RESORT ⛱️ 😎
As a black dude I can tell you that when I moved here from NYC in 2018 I used to enjoy the craziness of south beach during the holidays. That feeling lasted about a year , now you couldn’t pay me to go hang out on the main strip especially during any holiday. The last time I was there it was for 4th of July 2021 and I felt disgusted. People treat the city like shit with trash everywhere, shooting guns in the air, and overall leading to everyone being punished for these idiots with no life and their selfishness.
The main issue is the people causing all the drama aren’t from here. They hop on a cheap spirit flight, share one room at a hotel, maybe rent a nice car just to ride around drunk the entire night. I think the only way to get it to stop is Jack prices up, the curfews and extra police the city has tried is a temporary solution.
Thank you for your helpful personal insight!
As a permanent resident I HEAR YOUR CONCERNS..there are local groups that promote quality of life issues. .SOFNA , MIAMI BEACH UNITED. and there may be others I havent heard from..
ur africo
Actually, it was determined that most of the people getting arrested on South Beach were from the South FL region aka "locals". I'm sure there are quite a few out of towners causing trouble but they are not the majority.
"They" (you know who they are) destroy everywhere they go bro..Thats what "they" do
This was priceless, Nick casually listing all the crimes occurring on South Beach on any given night: robbery, rape, assault, gang activity, etc...then he busts out with " hoochie mommas, skanks, hoes...." best low-key comic moment
I let out a laugh, everyone thought I was crazy😜 .
There is NO truth to any of those things.
@@areguapiri I was born
@@areguapiri i wouldnt be so sure
Lived down here for over 7 years unfortunately. Place is miserable and the fakest city I've ever experienced. You'ved nailed it exactly right on in this video!
I used to go to south beach every night. 30 years ago. So much fun! NOW it’s a different world. I hope the leadership comes up with a plan to revive our once wonderful Miami Beach
Why did you feel the city of Miami is fake?
I believe even Las Vegas or Venice California are more livable than this, and that is saying a lot. It's probably on a par with Atlantic city.
I’m from cali and my best friend is from cali too and his parents are from Miami not originally and they moved because of the fakeness funny enough. One of the reasons
@@dannymuzzi3906 wow. Cali person thought miami was fake then miami must really be fake. Cali is allegedly the most fake place in the world
What this ALL COMES down to in the end is “respect”.
The enormous lack of respect for the city, residents, themselves, the law , and property.
I love how he describes cities with zero political correctness lol LOVE IT
he told the truth about Phoenix.
🤷🏻♂️
Ya can't deny it, Seattle is a shee*hole as well as Portland. Even San Jose's crime includes at least one or more fatal shootings a day. Every night, it happens.
Yeah, but he’s smart so he’s conservative.
How dare he offend the sensibilities of clueless rich white liberals
Nobody who lives in Florida goes to south beach. We avoid it like the plague.
Yo. Speak for yourself
We love south Beach and mid beach.
Agreed
Sheeeeit 💯 facts
Like Times Square in nyc lol residents don’t go there just tourists
I am a Miamian and no self respecting Miami resident goes to South Beach by choice. For beaches we either go to Ft Lauderdale or more north, or go to the west : Naples, Bonita Beach, Marco Island, etc. Its so ghetto in South Beach and Downtown Miami. I'll never understand why tourists have it down as a must see when they come to south Florida. I'll defend my city with any foreigner if they ever talked bad about Miami but I must say, its far from the glamor they show on TV. That's not real! Lol . at this point I have a love hate relationship with Miami and Florida as a whole.
Haha you think Downtown Miami is ghetto now you should have seen it in the 90s and even in the early 2000s. They have cleaned it up quite a bit. Everytime I see that SoDoSoPa episode of South Park it reminds me of Miami city.
@Padre Boaz That's like saying LA lacks Haitians & Cubans. 🤨
Locals dont go to South beach
Miami is a shitty city as a whole. Coming from NYC, south beach is one of the only fun spots down here. Glad I moved here than anywhere else in Miami.
@Padre Boaz Yes of course my point being is that the West Coast has a more established Asian population than Florida or Miami. Orlando does have a sizable Vietnamese population though.
Spot on description! Miami is a hot, beautiful, overpriced and miserable mess.
@Padre Boaz yeah florida itself never really had a huge Asian population compared to Cali. I'm from fl live in Cai at the moment and this is the first time I'm around a ton of Asians and Philippines.
@Padre Boaz ahhhh okay thank you for telling me. I had no clue thats where most lived at in florida. Thanks for the info now i know if i ever wanted to date a asian in florida I KNOW THE AREA TO GO!!!!
Miami Beach is where everyone speaks a different language, but Vanity is what brings everyone together!
It is run down and feels third world to me.
@@businessoffice4964 Depends on your social economic class. There's no middle class.
@Business Office I mean no offence, if that is 3rd world to you then you probably live a very sheltered life. Loud drunk obnoxious people isn’t “third world” haha.
Sounds like LA and San Francisco to me
@@businessoffice4964 you should go to north Miami Beach. More upscale
Miami beach is to Miami residents as the Statue of Liberty is to NY residents, nobody ever goes there and nobody can explain why tourists love it so much.
I will compare it to Times Square instead of Statue of Liberty
Queens for the queens
So funny listening to him tiptoe around his words. Miami is a cesspool and South Beach is crap. I was born in Miami Beach lived in Miami Beach and loved it for many years. I’m 52 years old and now I try not to go south of Jupiter. Actually I think he did a good job and was very honest. And I always appreciate your perspective on this country! Wonderful channel!
I was born a and raised in the Bay Area and my family always say how San Francisco was a city that was nice to visit…. Things have changed
"They don't respect our city" LOL They don't respect THEIR city either. They don't respect the law, authority, institutions, their own families.
I live in Maine, which is nearly all white, but many white folks hear live in squalor.
Neither do your elected officials. Your government murdered 3k plus on 911. But that doesn't bother you does it?

@@bwoneymaddic446 what does his statement has to do with race? He didn't say anything about race
This city is too chaotic and expensive to live in
Miami makes even Atlanta seem like a relaxed place.

@@GentlRebel Where are you relocating to?
@@thedirtybubble9613 A relatively small city in the Yucatán peninsula of Mexico. I’ve been splitting my time for almost a year and I feel much safer and happier there. Low cost of living, nice people, great food, and short flight back to S Florida when I want to see friends and family
So sad that this craziness is permitted to ruin the lives of those who live in south beach.
Cancel culture.I hate seeing my town trashed.I swear.
We will continue to trash it

You look very colourful too
@@Shane_2022 yep, we completely agree. And don't forget about the people promoting them back in Israel
Then, you might like Elon Musk's shirtless torso.
It’s amazing how fast cities are changing. I lived in South Beach and it was safe enough that you could walk anywhere late at night. Denver and Portland barely resemble the cities they were in 2000, and my hometown of Austin has basically been raptured out of existence and replaced with a chunk of Los Angeles.
Gee and I wonder what is the common denominator about all these cities that have changed? And gotten so much worse, you know why as we all do, but can't say it no can we Matt.
LA and the whole state of CA get the blame for everything, but anyone who has lived in LA for decades will tell you that things there were once nice there too, until people from every state in the union came to CA for the weather, jobs, beaches, etc. and ruined the state to beyond recognition. Whenever you have a good thing going, others will hear about it, and they will come in hoards and ruin the once good thing. Happens all the time, everywhere, nothing new.
@@Lulusvideos1 Yea was in Californication 2 times free got a trip there from old LBJ and a free M-16, what a nice guy and at the time nice state.
1999 and 2000' where the best years to party!
@@diegostevenson4569 Yea and the 50s and early 60s were the best times in the US of A, wonder what happened, oh wait I know.
I remember when SoBe was so chill and laid back. Now it’s just ghetto!
This is such a great channel to learn about US towns and cities in depth. I hope you can cover each of the 50 states in detail like you have cover Florida. Awesome. Keep going. 👍
The GHETTO crowd ruined south beach, but we aren't supposed to say that out loud.
Took a solo trip to South Beach (first time in Florida!) back in April for 4 days and I loved it. It was clean, saw only like 2 homeless people, nobody bothered me or tried to sell me anything. Lol. I can’t speak on SouthBeach at night because I went back to my hotel in the evening for dinner and didn’t come back out until sunrise. It was lovely in the am with the Art Deco lights still on and no one around. I do hope to come back soon 💖🙏
South beach used to be the place to go. Models, actors, the real "in" crowd wanted to go and be seen there. The clubs were fabulous and a big draw. Like anywhere else though the shine goes off the apple and people find a new "in" place to go. Then the hotels and clubs start to discount and the trashier crowds start to arrive. That is what is happening here.
Growing up south Florida in the 80s & 90s was great back then. It has lost its luster these days.
Agreed. The Metal scene was awesome in the early '90s. South Beach has become trendy, and not in a good way.
It was more dangerous back in those days.
Miami Beach is the type of place where Horatio Caine would always put his sunglasses on when he sees a crime scene. Great Video Nick!
Nick Johnson my whole family loves your for the downright honesty, enthusiasm, as well how kind your words are. Even if you have a bad day or sad I can never tell since your so positive and inspirational. Please don't quit even though TH-cam censors you for calling bad behavior in the black community too!
My favorite part of Miami Beach is NO WAY IN HELL Beach, I'd rather drive a couple of hrs west or north to get away as far as possible from the low life cesspool.
Amen brother I feel same way
Exactly
I think age demographic and overall racial demographics play a huge role here. Younger people tend to be drawn to beaches for partying and hooking up. However, when certain demographics move in...it always up like NYC, Chicago, Baltimore, etc.
They blk. Where ever there is 3 of thee I will not be.
Just say some certain type of black people lol
Vegas too
Stimi check women, spendin' them stimi checks. Once we get rid of the Democrats, and stop paying people to behave, they won't be going to spring break anywhere. It will be back to Atlanta, sorry Atlanta.
@@GooseXIV I respectfully disagree, there are lots of dodgy white people....drugs, poverty and bad behaviour flourish irrelevant of colour. That said, you gotta be sensible and read the scene, but without prejudice.
Once again, I’m from Miami, born and raised. And let me tell you, South Beach is overrated af. I can’t speak for every local, but I’m one of those Miamian’s that avoids tourist spots at all costs. You can find me on the other side of the causeway 😂 somewhere in the hood.
I live here also and never ever go there. Usually go to Fort Lauderdale or up to west palm beaches
The Grove is my spot.
I hate Miami Beach and Hollywood Beach. These places used to be beautiful, now its dirty, noisy and full of creepy people who only want to get drunk.
the property is too damn expensive, there is never any parking and there's always somw kind of petty crime or drama.
I have overheard "liberals" who regularly say the official party lines return from a weekend in South Beach saying , "Never again"
@@mike-uw6wt ?
I think you may have brought back the term “hoochie mama” 😂😂😂😂!!! That was hysterical 😭!!!
North Beach is a hidden gem. Shhhhhhh.
Most people that live in Miami don't visit South Beach. That is mostly for tourists. If we want to go to the beach, we go a further north, key Biscayne, or the gulf coast.
Exactly I live here and none of people I know that live here go there.
Exactly
@Padre Boaz lacking because they are smart not to live there much less vacation there. That would be the least place I would want to live or vacation at. I can say this because I live in miami and hell would freeze over before I would go there. It’s just tourists only, no locals ever go there
@Padre Boaz yes however there is a gigantic difference between central fla/Orlando and south fla/Miami. Central fla is more open and more affordable plus the other obvious reason is language, English is secondary to Spanish in Miami.
@@robertathey8504 LMAOOOO we say it publicly. It’s ghetto
There is an element that can be found in all color of skin demographics. This element is disrespectful and at times a threat to public safety. Most people just love it when law enforcement runs the element off. There is also an element that can be found in all color of skin demographics that enjoys having a good time and is respectful and pleasant.
Not it’s 99.9% the blacks

ah yes we're all the same, everything is everything, could have been anywhere...whatever boomer

Well I agree with you I'm a black man 40yrs old and I love the country side where I live now I sit in my backyard and read 📚 and enjoy my garden I'm a homebody and I'm kinda old school so I love peace ☮✌
Nick Johnson is the best. No bullshit, no political correctness. He calls out the issues on its name. Well done
The interview portion was excellent Nick. I'm glad the commissioner was so open ri speaking. He didn't sugar coat, no political doublespeak and it was refreshing.
He very much sugarcoated!!!!!!
Even had the nerve to basically say the police were victims of cancel culture get the hell outta here wit that….ur mad cause black people speak up now when police try to run that bullshit on em
Let’s see. Portland, Seattle, San Fran, Austin, LA ,DC, bad. War zones. Miami : law and order! No nonsense here! 😅😅😅😅
I'm never quite sure why Nick has these smarmy mayor types on, with all of their self-serving rhetoric, unless it's to get them to condemn themselves out of their own mouths.
The abundance of trashy people are bringing down all kinds of areas in the country. The middle-class are affected the most because they don't have the money to relocate to more expensive areas to keep the trash out.
i went to south beach last week during the day and honestly it's pretty chill during the daytime, but looks like the night time sucks
Agree.
Yeah nighttime kinda sucks (depending on the week), too many inner city people from nearby areas or from other states go at night and it can get rowdy/trashy and not in a good way.
@@erwina4738 yes. We almost moved to South Beach 5 years ago, moved from up north. But, decided on South Pompano beach near Lauderdale. So glad we did. I see South Beach changed a lot, and not in a good way. Some poor out of state young guy got shot by Lincoln Road while have lunch with his family in one of those cafes. He died, and only 21 years old. For no reason. Guy just went up to him and shot him.
@@janicecroissiert9116 when was that

South Beach is nothing short of obnoxious. They yell at you to eat at their restaurants, wave menus in your face and charge $20 for a margarita.

Being a native Miamian, I found it very interesting to hear the way Miami Beach was described in this video; especially, the use of Mid-Beach. The northern parts of the beach does have more than just homes, but it is mostly residential; great Beaches, also! South Beach is mostly tourist and Miami Dade County residences that's aren't Miami Beach locals. No one from Miami actually go to South Beach on non eventful days. What is being called Mid Beach; which is really just Miami Beach, is the actual beach that I would say locals use. I personally like this beach and Haulover Beach, which is the northern part of the area. I think this is a good look at the beach as a whole though.
Miami is just a new southern ghetto. I remember when Miami was just old retired Jews and some white tourist's during the winter.
I haven't been to South Beach since the late 80s. Looks like the same overcrowded scene, but different toys. No thanks!
We‘ve been to Miami regularly with the first time being in 1989. Back then it was a retirement spot which had a very relaxed atmosphere. We saw a lot of construction on the Art Deco district that year.
In the years later South Beach was just magic. Every evening of our holidays we went to the News Cafe where a mix of interesting people were having a good time. It really felt a lot like Miami Vice.
In the early 2000s things seemed to have changed to be much more commercial, however still being pleasant with a nice vibe and we always felt safe with our young kids.
We’ve just been in Miami Beach again this April and were very disappointed what has happened to South Beach. The magic feeling is almost gone and it’s just a stupid noisy party. We felt safe and it’s still beautiful, but somehow it’s a different place now. Where did the old stylish South Beach go? And News Cafe - the iconic restaurant on Ocean Drive - has been closed. Looking at recent reviews before closing its quality seemed to had changed to the worse. It’s really sad - but still it’s a nice place for holidays when you read Google Maps reviews before going out for dinner there.
You rock, Nick! If I lived down there, I would live in Mid Beach in one of the single family homes. Beautiful homes there and in North Beach and all the beautiful trees 🌳 🌴. South Beach looks like a lot of fun, but I’d go in the off season and the daytime and weekday nights.
They are baby making, too. The Movie Idiocracy, comes to mind.
Oh, man, don’t remind me.
I JUST watched that movie (for the first time ever) yesterday, and, what was supposed to make me laugh, ended up making me depressed and angry as some of what was considered satire when that movie was released is now reality.
Nick, this will be your most watched show/segment yet. Congratulations, great work. Greetings from South of Fifth, Miami Beach 🇺🇸

Nick you’re on point, 💯 truth. The whole scene has changed for the worse.
My first 2 trips to Miami were both in February, so luckily not many out of town spring breakers or whatever goes on. Overall I had a quiet trip without much trouble but during the summer the south beach is hectic/ratchet and should be avoided .
Most people from Florida don't go to south beach and I'm black.
Springs break is the WORST, summer is actually very chill.
Summer is quiet, there is good weather in the tourists' home states and towns so they don't need to travel for warmth.
@@dexterlee6938 exactly but April is perfect time to go to south beach LMAOOOO all the spring break nonsense is over
We have to shut it down and turn it into an art deco tourist district. Point blank!
The entire stste of Florida is a freakin mess.i moved here in 1971 from Long Island NY . Tampa was a very nice quiet city in those days and it started to change in the late 1980s. we always get the same reasons for why people move here to Florida taxes are low, no state income taxes, sun and fun, great fishing. lack of taxes will show you what you get for your money, no transportation systems at all in the bigger cities, an overburdened school system, tax dollars used to support private schools, you want your kids to go to private schools you pay for it out of your own pocket.there is no affordable housing for young people just starting out or for seniors. this place is turning into a state where only the rich will be able to live. and yes crime is on the rise that's no suprise at all. here in Florida we need to get our act together real soon.

Wow lived in Miami back in 2010 worked off of Alton and Lincoln and it was not this GHETTO amazing how it has changed. Back in the days clubs like Liquid, Mansion, etc. This looks terrible now very different vibe. Well enjoyed it when it was still good. Live in Texas now and its great!

@Padre Boaz Obviously, California is much closer to Asia and with ties to that continent for many decades. Also most Asian population in the United States have had established their roots in the west coast and in a few other big and old metropolis like New York and Chicago. But you can find many different Asian restaurants, mini markets and other stores throughout South Florida.
The restaurants are overpriced and food service and taste is disappointing A F
If hell exist, I imagined it as an infinite night in a south beach street party as showed here
Hell is Norfolk, Virginia
Miami is the most beautiful gutter in the world.
When you go to Miami Beach you're either going to have the best day of your life or the most disappointing day ever, theres no in between
I had the best day back in `84.
And yes, the city of South Beach is trying their best to remove rift-raft from causing issues. We shall see because the bars really are fighting against it. However, it gets real crazy on Memorial Day and Spring Break. Other weekends it’s a bit more calm.
I've seen things like this happen in other cities where I lived. At first the party street is real cool for a a few years and then it goes downhill. I think that some of the businesses are to blame. I notice that the business flavor changes. It starts with chain stores but then locals start opening cheap pizza joints, smoke shops, sneaker stores, etc. So it doesn't really cost that much to handout down there anymore.
This brings in a whole different type of crowd ... very young and very urban.
I work with several party promoters from time to time and they have gone to a strict 30 and over for their events. They don't get the perfect upscale crowd but it looks like more than half of the trouble makers are gone just by raising the age.
I remember when 18 was an adult, now they don't start maturing until 30 ....
South Beach started local and then becomes corporate that urged the blacks to come. Trust me the locals didn’t and don’t want the blacks there.
Blame the businesses. What the hell is the matter with you? It is animals acting up causing crime. Nothing less. Why not blame the guns for the shootings?
@@thomasgibson8025 the businesses? Riiiight. It’s the blacks. If the truth hurts, it’s still the truth.
I agree. If they cannot afford it, they wouldn't be there. The drinks are likely cheap and the parties go on until 5am there.
Hopefully Miami Beach will change to what it was, it’s unbelievable to see what it became.
Obviously, the "South Beach Diet" is not a thing anymore!! LOL

This is why we can’t have nice things.
I moved to Miami in 87'. I was a teenager. You couldn't be out in South Beach at night. Real drug deal were going on and shootings. These were immigrants shooting it out.
The spot to eat your talking about is probably News Cafe.
The 90s the Modeling agencies opened up, some stars like Stallone and Mickey Rourke opened up bars. The club scene was insane. No ghetto people. Tons of hot people in the many better clubs. People from all over the states and international tourists.
All in a 12 to 14 block square is about the only are you needed to go. Washington, Collins and Ocean Drive from 1st street to 17th street.
Lived in Miami for 5 years. I LOVE IT. The cons are .....visitors and cost of living.
Now if you have money you can live a happy life there just avoiding these visitors. Not talking about foreign people, the visitors from other states are the ones creating the problems there.
I live in South Beach - you should have checked out Flamingo Park, South Pointe park, or along Alton Road. It's a different world. I don't go out at night though! Lol
Yess love Southe Pointe , quiet and peaceful.
Probably the most accurate video you made. Miami is now totally for the rich. Mid and lower are leaving in droves as everything has become unaffordable. Another NYC without the rent freeze.
It anger me to hear how you describe my Miami Beach but you are absolutely right. These people are not locals.
Great video, especially for a guy who's planning on moving to Miami Beach from NYC. I will be emailing you. One thing you should keep in mind is that Cubans have been voting Republican for decades! Most Latinos do vote blue (though more and more are switching colors nowadays) but Cubans have traditionally voted red!
Email me mike I'll help you figure out wheee to move.
@@NickJohnson I did.
Great video, speaking the truth! Never back down.
As an Oregonian, it’s weird to hear someone from Miami referring to Portland as a dangerous place, lol 😂! Growing up in Oregon I always felt pretty sheltered.
Oregon is inherently more sheltered than Florida but i think the city of Portland has had some violent and generally unruly trends in recent years
it has changed.
Miami Dade was a war zone 30 years ago now Portland Oregon has more homicides. Also Miami doesn't have any Soros installed DA's so criminals get prosecuted. ✌🏼

You're bang on. Boys without a dad become lost and get caught up in the wrong crowd. All the feminazis have been brainwashed.
If Miami Beach isn't controversial then it's not Miami Beach.
Love that commissioner of Miami Beach speaking the truth. Spot on man. Good stuff. TY.
Absolutely love your videos! Always spot on
My trip to Miami, FL was in August 1997 and it was amazing!! Got my first tattoo there, of a Dolphin (Miami Dolphins fan!). It was a gorgeous city and I had no issues. We stayed at the Leslie Hotel. A lot can definitely change in 25 years, I guess....

That would be awesome! In south Florida, I feel FTL and WPB are great places for couples and singles to enjoy their child free life!

Everybody wants to come down before the total island of Miami Beach is underwater, or at least partly. "Freedom?"
I lost it when you said people take pictures where Versace was butchered 😂
😢
It looks like GTA Vice city.
Love the narration on these vids. Cuts like a scalpel.
I’m from St. Petersburg Florida and me and a few my buddies were just down there for a festival and went out to South Beach one night….insane to say the least but pretty fun!
My niece lives in South Beach. She hates spring break when she and other residents batten down the hatches and stay in. They have complained to city officials about the antisocial and dangerous behaviors. But nothing improves.
Mappy and Nick are Great 👍 and Love 💘 ❤ 💕 ♥ 💖 💗
I was there 1999 to 2003 the best years south had to offer, very European vibe with a South American feel.
But now has been hijack and rundown . The worst is that almost every cool city in the USA is been attacked by this behavior. Cruise ship, themed parks , anywhere that has a cool venue is been trash-down. Is part of the new America.
In the very early 1970's I went to a gay club in Miami Beach, and EVERYONE was gorgeous and well dressed. The women were all beautiful and and men handsome. They all seemed to drive up in white Cadillac convertibles
Thanks for making a miami video! I've been waiting for it 🙌
Two more coming!
@@NickJohnson awe thanks for your reply I'm honored Nicky poo 💩 ☺️ ❤️
