Review of Miami, Florida


Raised in NYC moved to Miami.
Star Rating - 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 civil rights. A mentality adopted by the average worker here. And is the normal here. Yes woman, you can say woman are beautiful here and that depends on what you consider beautiful. And by that, I don't mean the latest boob job. Even the weather lady at the local news channel looks like she came out of a playboy magazine. This is the American dream here in South Florida. Don't Move here if you value union rights, education, real diversity, culture and originality. ;) Thank me later!

You definitely described Miami in a way that people need to see it, especially for people that maybe considering moving down here. Miami is my hometown and it has changed so much throughout the years in a bad way, right now I'm looking to move from down here before this year is out. I been down here for 30 years and I feel that it's time for me to move on to something better. I would like to tell anyone that's looking for work opportunities to look somewhere else but not here, I been out of work for the past four years and I'm relying on temporary jobs to get by. It's hard living in Miami and it seens that you have to be wealthy to make it here. Thanks alot for your review Maggy because it's so true.
