Florida Rocks... I will rather to live in Miami for good reason.

VansTripp · October 11th, 2004, 06:05 AM

Miami and any larger cities in Florida was cheaper to live there than CA, Northeast and West standard.

I lived in Los Angeles for almost in my life. Los Angeles is pretty old, dirty, very expensive as hell (mostly on housing price but rent is pretty good) and ecomany have been worse in early 1990s but not now. Traffic is very nightmare!!! Los Angeles have very good crime/law breaking prgram with LAPD but maybe same as like Miami PD. Miami is seem very nice and modern city ever. Maybe better living than L.A.

Does Florida laws let people can using neon light on under car for driving on road and freeway?

I never went to Miami before though. Which is better living? L.A. or Miami

Does have any problem in Miami?

MIAballinboi · October 11th, 2004, 09:36 PM

I think we need to differentiate between the areas around Miami.

Miami Beach, Coral Gables, Brickell, Aventura, Sunny Isles Beach, Key Biscayne, Fisher Island are stunning. They can rival some of the best places to live in the world.

The rest of Miami-Dade County is a either a ghetto or cookie-cutter suburbia, for the most part. I try to avoid it at all costs.

Does all of Miami-Dade County covered with ghetto and cookie-cutter suburbia? Does Miami-Dade County got alot diverse changed in 1980? (Like it changed into more Cuban than white people or European).

RX, I say thats GOOD

, and Thanks to 30 % of them For Making MIAMI , WHAT IT IS TODAY, I'm A American White Native Born in Baltimore , Maryland, and to tell you at my upper 40's age, I went back to Baltimore for a Visit 2 years ago, AND I got sick of looking at the City I was raised in, and seeing a City that went down and very sick looking , The Latins I live with and Work with here in MIAMI , ARE HARD Working People and To Tell you the TRUTH, I'm Lazy when it comes to them being Hard Working, The Latins will work all the way into their 70's and beyond, They never QUIT. I have to hand it to them, THEY BUILT MIAMI, More than Half of the Devolpers ARE LATIN, and GOD Bless them, Thats my opinion, and if you don't Live with them and work with them like I do with Miami-Dade County, well you don't KNOW them like I do.

Thanks Chuck, from a Cuban-American. I tell you, Miami is becoming a more cosmopolitan city everyday. I think everyone has contributed to this magical city, white and black folks early on, then we cubans came into the picture, and now people from all over latin america and europe are helping Miami continue its amazing growth. I notice that we are maturing more as a community and in my opinion everyone is getting along better. Hope to see those 50 cranes in '05. Boomtown!!!!

One thing that I do have to ask (and I'm a big fan of Miami), over the years Miami has acquired a reputation for rudeness. Indeed, one particular travel magazine used to run a survey in which they declared Miami "America's Rudest City" year after year.

But this was some years back. Does the reputation still persist ?

DALE,

NO WAY Now !, We , the People, and Residents of MIAMI-DADE County Have changed since then, We pulled through 4 Hurricanes and Binded together as ONE Community to WELCOME Back

THE TOURISTS From ANY COUNTRY, STATE or CITY. We are not RUDE and We behave like Normal Country folks, YA All Come NOW and VISIT the MAGIC City of MIAMI !!!

Hisma · October 16th, 2004, 06:42 PM

IMO the rudeness depends on the ethnic group. I was dissapointed by the quality of service when I went down there with my wife, who was born and raised in Miami. She said she is used to rude ass people in Miami... the thing is, it's mainly the Cubans. Cubans think they run Miami, it's pretty sad. Other than that, most fast-paced cities generally have a ruder people, since you're dealing with so many people every day, your bound to become a little less patient. Btw, my wife is peruvian.

Rx727sfl2002 · October 16th, 2004, 07:28 PM

I Think Your Probably Generalizing
Youll Encounter Rudeness Anywhere You Go

As The Saying Goes You Get What You Pay For...
So Overall If You Want A Better Quality Of Service Pay The Extra Buck But Dont Expect Etiquette And Streamlined Manners To Come Out Of Dinning At Little Havanna

I Think The Statement Is Unfounded And Bias And A Bit Harsh
And Most Would Find Offense To It.

Im Sure If I Said Peruvians Are Nothing But Indians And There Idea Of Hospitality Is Chewing Corn And Spitting It In A Glass And Offering It To There Guest.

You would Find That Offensive But Its True... So Reserve Some Of Your Comments or opinions To Yourself.

Hisma · October 16th, 2004, 07:47 PM

lol
I don't take offense to stereotypes. Most of the times stereotypes exsist because there is some truth to them. I base my bias off of personal experience. Of course it doesn't apply to all of them, but I experienced the rudeness & lack of class first-hand. Like it or hate it my opinion still stands

Rx727sfl2002 · October 17th, 2004, 07:30 AM

well to make such an unruley remark or statement would clasify you right up there with those you so call mention as being rude.

its brilliantly one of those things in the world where it takes one to know one... either that or your just extremely picky in service or have a hard time understanding the culture.

either way im so sorry you had a hard time in miami luckily you wont be visiting any time soon.

brickell · October 18th, 2004, 09:35 AM

as a miamian, the rudeness here is unbelievable. it's the one thing that might cause me to leave the area eventually. i've tried to figure where it comes from, but from my experience it spans all ethnic, racial, class groups. For a service oriented city, you'd think we'd have a handle on it, but that never seems to be the case.

That's not to say there aren't nice people here too. There's plenty. I go out of my way to be nice to people, especially in traffic and such in the hopes it might rub off.

I should also add that I see this as a trend in most of America. Maybe Miami is just ahead of the game.

VansTripp · October 18th, 2004, 04:42 PM

Wow, Does Miami have alot of rudest people?

Hisma · October 18th, 2004, 05:00 PM

well, its wrong to judge, like i did (sorry)
something like that you'd have to find out for yourself. Visit the city & draw your own conclusions... because one person might have a good experience while someone else might have a bad one.

Are all of Miami-Dade County was ghetto? (Like ugly community and neighborhood)

I'm little nervous now.

Hisma · October 18th, 2004, 05:20 PM

not at all
aventura, miami beach, brickell, pembroke pines (i think that's miami-dade), coconut grove, coral gables... all very nice & upscale areas. But seriously, visit the city for yourself! Miami is a large city so there's much contrast and diversity. Obviously the city has something to offer, seeing the kind of boom that it's currently experiencing.

That is why I left MIami forever. I will never go back there.
Lack of good jobs, rude people, not a good freeway system.
Only one freeway has carpool lanes, and they are just starting to have meter lights on freeways.
California, Houston, Minneapolis are way ahead. when it comes to freeways.
This weeks people from Seattle , and Houston will be training people in Florida on how to use the meter light on freeways.

Miami might be a nice city one day. Maybe 50 years from now.
I heard it is growing, but I hope they clean the city, and try to lure high tech companies to the area.
Hotels and restaurants jobs does not help much the economy.
They have to diversified the local economy as San Diego and Chicago does
