1. "Miami is a melting pot of cultures and offers a lot of opportunities for career growth. However, the cost of living is high and traffic can be unbearable. It also gets very hot and humid in the summers." - JasonM
2. "I have lived in Miami my whole life and I absolutely love it. The beaches, food, and nightlife are unbeatable. However, it is a very fast-paced and crowded city, so if you prefer a quieter and slower lifestyle, Miami may not be the best fit for you." - MariaS

Pats in Miami - 2/18/2012
Miami is not a good place for pets! High temperatures and ignorant people = a disaster for animals. Due to the largly high latin culture in Miami, we have plenty of diversity and that is a bonus, but not for animals. People leave them tied up, left outdoors in heat and often abandoned.People here think they are objects and have no concerns for

Great place to live, if you're rich - 2/18/2012
Miami was named #1 and West Palm Beach #3 most miserable places to live in the US by a major magazine. There are beautiful safe areas but 99% of us can't afford to live there. The rest of the area is still expensive but has a high violent crime rate. "Florida Move Guide" says that high unemployment, high crime, high foreclosures, low wages for most jobs and high humidity 9-10 months a year combine to make South FL anything but paradise. Use the stats on Sperling to check out any place you are thinking of moving to, you don't want to be the next

Want a safe place to live in Miami? - 1/17/2012
Then you better have a ton of money! There are relatively safe areas to live in the Miami area, usually close to the beach but you have to be one of the 1% to be able to afford it. The rest of us 99% would have to live in mostly high crime areas. According to the "Florida Move Guide", the cost of living is high and the area has a high turn over rate. Many move to FL looking for paradise but over 1000 people a day move out of FL. 9 months of hot/humid weather isn't for

Raised in NYC moved to Miami. - 12/6/2011
Whether is Broward, Miami, Homestead, South Beach, Miami lakes, or Kendal, South Florida is the worst place to live if you plan on raising kids here. This place lacks culture, diversity (not only Hispanics) and humility. I have been here for 5 years now and hate it!! Don't be fooled yes its beautiful but to vacation. Almost everyone has the same mentality that is passed on from generation to generation and rooted from years of suppression in other countries. The real freedom of America is not seen here. Education is not a priority. Teachers with degrees from other countries and heavy accents are teaching our students to read. Money is a priority here and everyone has a hustle. In the work place skill is not a requirement is who you know and where you come from. Labor laws are non-existent here since everyone is dispensable to that one worker who is willing to work for less pay and no benefits. This is a mentality brought here from other countries without labor laws or

Must be rich to be safe here, there are much bette - 11/18/2011
There are a few nice areas to live in Miami but you must have a lot of money to live there. Outside those areas its dangerous, like living in a 3rd world country filled with poverty and crime. According to FBI statistics, Miami is one of the most dangerous cities in the US. There are much better places to live a better live in Florida near beautiful beaches and for a lot less money.

Traffic in Miami - 10/22/2011
Coming from Wisconsin, it was quite the culture shock to come to South Florida....For any Wisconsinite who reads this, you will know what I mean.
Just last week I heard on the radio that Miami had the worst traffic in the US and also the Rudest drivers...I believe this to be true! I have never in all my driving career which has been 40 years, seen such rude and thoughtless driving as those in Miami. I have gotten to the point that job or no job, I am making my husband move me back to Wisconsin.
People don't know how to be kind and let someone merge or know how to use a blinker. If they have lights out on their car, be it headlights, tail lights or brake lights, they don't get them fixed, they just keep driving dangerously without them. The police in Wisconsin will pull you over for that infraction, in Florida they just speed by you, which to me is the crux of the problem.
The other thing I have a real problem with is that when an emergency
