Try getting off the island every now then and you will find the real city. You shouldn’t generalize about the entire Cuban American community on the basis of limited interaction. It betrays your ignorance and shows you to be as foolish as those you denounce in your diatribe.

]]> Comment on Midtown Miami, Revisited by Concerned Midtown Ex-Pat http://bobmiami.wordpress.com/2011/05/30/midtown-miami-revisited/#comment-9039 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 15:57:05 +0000 http://bobmiami.wordpress.com/?p=869#comment-9039 What is up with that hideous park in Midtown? It’s been “being worked on” since we lived there 3 years ago and still looks like a swamp and smells like animal waste since no one ever picks up after their pets. BEWARE if you rent at Midtown Miami – It’s like being in a concentration camp with different rules posted in the elevators on a daily basis with various fines which up the otherwise attractive rents! The park will NEVER be done I fear!

We’ve moved here from Chicago (because of the weather) and regret it. The people here are not only disgusting, but self loathing *******s. I’m a very friendly person and have tried to make new friends but everyone is so stuck on themselves you can’t even say, “hello” to them without them looking at you like you have a flesh eating disease.

I’ve never been so unhappy in my entire life. I though South Beach was going to be fun, friendly and pleasant because of the lovely weather but I swear to god, I’d rather be locked in jail than to live in Miami Beach agai

The people who say “Miami is diverse” apparently haven’t lived here. Most people here are Arrogant cubans, whom live by scamms, or stealing money from medicaid There’s no diversity here. Diversity would be New York, Chicago… This place sucks and if I had the option to die or be stuck on this god forsaken island, I’d take the first.

My wife and I jokingly refer to it was “Spider Park”. There are amazing spider web constructions all throughout. We even caught staff taking a nap the one and last time we checked it out.

And since we’re desperate for park space here in Brickell, we might as well add in the super tiny pocket park, Allen Morris Park on SE 1st Ave and 10th St.

Shops and entertainments are here to stay and new restaurants seem to open everytime i go…

things have come a long way i believe since 2007 and new stable investors and companies will find it welcoming to settle down here at this time to take advantage of what is about to happen in the design district.

You need to take a car, cab, or bus to get to something nice like George’s. Unfortunate!

II) by eaglemat http://bobmiami.wordpress.com/2007/09/07/the-scales-of-urban-development-pt-ii/#comment-8942 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 14:28:20 +0000 http://bobmiami.com/2007/09/07/the-scales-of-urban-development-pt-ii/#comment-8942 This could have easily been “bust,” and for a while it was. Miami’s saving grace: its appeal to Brazilian investors. In the past fiscal year, the Brazilian Real has enjoyed strong growth while the US Dollar tanked. Miami has drawn a significant number of Brazilian investors/residents, and occupancy in many of the residential buildings you’ve listed is around 85-90%.
Great article, thanks!
