I have a question for the Miami forumers.

Why, do you guys think, Miami Beach has lost population?

From where I sit Miami beach is the most ideal place to live in the U.S. It has beautiful beaches, gorgeous water, very urban and of course great weather. Yet, I believe it has lost population over the last two decades.

It makes No sense to me, so that is why I am asking people that live closer and may have a better insight as to what is happening to Miami Beach

to answer your question

miami beach has always been a place of change

before it was the elderly and jew community that dominated the beach population

then the gay community was the dominating one but now that theres more hip hop and alot of gay bashing due to the fact that the people going down to the beach are imature the gay community has packed up and left and moved to wilton manors and now biscayne blvd and they have had alot of effect on communities. wilton manors is what it is becuase of the migration of the gay community.

the straight or heterosexual community has moved out becuase of the large number of homeless people and also the noise of the clubs.

i hope that answers your question....

^ That helps, thanks you!
Damn shame though!!

Personally, none of that stuff would run me off, but that is just me. I have lived in nieghborhoods with all those same problems and the alternative lifestyles, I believe it gives a nieghborhood character.

frankly if someone was mugged, beaten, spit on and called derogatory names while infront of the police and nothing was done then im sure you would pack up and leave...

i personally havent confronted such abuse and wouldnt stand for it, but others have gone through this and no suffer PTSD from that experiece and are not the same so they have packed up and moved to safer locations.

its horrible but its a reality of life. and it happens to be southbeach cops could care less.

WCI Communities Breaks Ground on $120M Condo Project
By Melissa Bogdany
Last updated: Tuesday, August 24, 2004 03:40pm

MIAMI-WCI Communities Inc., based in Bonita Springs, broke ground on a $120-million, 20-story, oceanfront boutique condominium project in Miami Beach. Mosaic on Miami Beach, an 84-unit project, will rise on nearly1.7 acres at 3801 Collins Ave. It is the only new residential development in Miami Beach’s historic district.

The two- and three-bedroom units will range in size from 1,354 sf to 3,449 sf; the residences are priced between $875,000 and $3.9 million. WCI Realty Inc. is handling sales for the project. Fullerton Diaz is the project architect, and Interiors by Steven G. is the interior designer. Coastal Construction is the builder.

“We’ve always modeled ourselves as a high-end developer,” says Enrique de la Pezuela, the project manager for Mosaic. “We strive for the best.”

He says he feels the high-end project will be successful due to its location. “I feel that area needs a high-quality condominium,” he says. “The location is ideal. It is located where you’re five minutes from South Beach and five minutes from the airport.” In addition, he notes, there are three ways out, so getting stuck in traffic won’t be a problem for residents. “It’s a very accessible location.”

The area also has a demand for an upscale project, he says. “Doctors at Mount Sinai, record executives from Sony--there’s a million people in that area that this” would be suitable for as a second home or other residence, he adds.

Model units are expected to be completed in January, and the entire project has a planned completion date of July 2006. The building is designed with an arts theme and will use a wide range of fine art, unique design features as well as other architectural elements.
