Better Place For Our Family
I am a native of Miami Dade County, Florida. I have lived here all of my life, but the place I grew up in is nothing like the place it is today. The cost of living is through the roof and the pay is below the standard cost of living. A degree counts for nothing in the job market here, because unemployment is substantially high and you have more educated people applying for the same positions, so employer can get away with pay ridiculously low wages.
People here no longer speak English as the first language. Spanish is the norm. You will always be addressed in Spanish, before being addressed in English.
The crime rate is through the roof and 70% of people are on welfare.
There is always someone trying to hustle or scam you out of money. Business owners here have a hard time collecting revenue for services rendered.
It is a terrible place for the middle class family, trying to raise well rounded, law abiding family.
