There is an excellent article in the this weekend's edition of the Wall Street Journal titled, "Greetings from Miami." I think it would be good tool to show recruits. Get them fired up about the possibilities after football , from playing ball in such a dynamic, forwarding moving City.

I'm speaking more of the business end. With rapid expansion there will inevitably be growing pains.
 
I’m deep in the tech scene and the transformation from outlier to tech hub here in just the last 3 years has been nuts. That’s fueling a lot of change around here. My main concern though is that we’re not building new housing nearly fast enough, need to hit Tokyo level construction to stop rent from continuing to skyrocket. After that it’s transportation.

I’m assuming this is the article: https://www.wsj.com/articles/miamis...pto-suarez-rents-development-boom-11657317076

Yes, that is the article. It said rents went up over 40% in one year.

Actually, Miami Dade County population growth of 800,000 residents since 1990 has been primarily upper level Latin American business owners who are highly educated and multi lingual, generally Spanish, English and Portuguese or French. Many of them with advanced degrees from universities in the USA or Europe. Owners of agricultural production and export businesses in Argentina, Chile, Peru, Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Guatemala, The Dominican Republic and Mexico have opened offices in Miami / Dade, purchased second homes (heavily in Key Biscayne, Coral Gables and Doral). Banking, real estate, RESTAURANTS all reflect the dramatic increase in the international, multi cultural life that is a key facet of the community. Has been a dramatic change in the last 20 years.

the biggest issue with Miami now is that its moving a lot of the locals out of the area due to price hikes and turning it more transient. you'll end up losing a ton of the real culture and heart of the city over the next 10-20 years. also salaries in florida (in general) are still nowhere close to the NYC/SF salaries even though miami has turned into one of the most expensive cities to live in.

Yup, which doesn’t seem to be getting addressed at all on the policy level. To prevent this there needs to be a push to make it dramatically easier regulatory wise to build wtc the f you want across the county. Otherwise we enter the same death spiral SF has on the other coast, short term success and growth that’s completely unsustainable with sky high housing costs, no new construction allowed, tons of homeless etc.

It should be local politics priority #1. Miami could literally be the Singapore of the Caribbean but that only happens if we get serious about letting the market build, and making necessary infra investment.

We're expanding ALOT in that space over the course of the next 20 years. But as of how it is now id agree far behind most major cities.
