I agree! Miami is not cool!

I have to agree with the majority of posters here- I moved to Miami 2 years ago and have nothing but negative things to say. But what bothers me the most about this city is the people are so unbelievably rude!!! I have lived all over the US, and I have never seen anything like it. It almost sucks you in and turns you into a mean person! It's terrible. There is NO sense of community (unless you go into the latin communities, which there is, but I'm not Latin and don't speak Spanish), no art, no culture here at all! You feel like you are in a third world country. The only saving grace is the whole boating/fishing thing (the water here is beautiful!!), but hey you can do that on the West Coast of FL where you feel like you are still in America. You cannot get a job here unless you speak Spanish. In fact, people will pretty much look down on you if you don't speak Spanish. MY HUSBAND is Latin and even HE agrees that this place is terrible. My husband and I are leaving, thank goodness, but not fast enough. If I could leave tomorrow I would. It makes me so sad to see such a beautiful place be turned into a lackluster, everyone-is- out- for- themselves- mentality city. Just being on the roads is a fight for your life. I turned on power 96 the other day and they were running a song that talked about how a young girl beat up some girl at prom, and they were actually glorifying it. I was disgsuted once again. Ridiculous, low class value system here. Can't wait to leave!!
