lets hear the rants and raves.......i live in miami and it could use some work.....too many over-priced condos for a populace who cant afford them,traffic and bad mass transit-we need a trolley car system...they want to make this into an american riviera of sorts without the incomes or cultural base to sustain that....nevertheless i dont think i could live anywhere else in the u.s...exceptin ol new orleans...

I’ve not been to Miami in a while. But I hear coastal cities all over the U.S. suffer similarly. The filthy rich are driving up the housing market even miles inland. Normal folk who work for a living (those who actually produce goods and services), can no longer afford rents and mortgages. The sprawl displaces people and culture. There is still no descent public transportation in most American cities, but hey, the rich don’t need it.
