Get out of Miami while you can

The cost of living in Miami is simply too high for the poor quality of life afforded to those who live here. Miami has many of the same problems as Latin America: poor public schools; extremes of rich and poor and little middle class; poor government, corruption and bad services. I also find Miami to be unwelcoming to non-Hispanics. It's quite true that in many restaurants, stores and public places, the staff does not speak English. For me, even more difficult to accept is that American customs and values do not predonimate either. The customs of Latin America, a region not know for a high quality of life, are the norm. This is the reason Miami ranks near the bottom of every quality of life survey done of American cities. I don't recommend Miami and most of South Florida as a place to live.
