Anywhere in here from/living in Miami? I went there a couple of years ago and was quite impressed. If there is one city in the US I wouldn't mind living in it's Miami. Anyone can give the low down on living in the MIA?
My old job sent me on a temporary assignment...6 months to get a project off the ground..
Basically Miami is an overrated shit hole...it's hot, bugs everywhere..if you don't have ac/swamp cooler leave...and the locals are crazy. Alot of violence especially around the drug game. Apparently drugs are smuggled into the ports/city byway Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Haiti, Trinidad, Cuba even by all means possible..Drug money is everywhere...I think I read that during the 80's about 75 percent of Miami's construction was financed by drug linked money....so basically your driving by illegally financed buildings...lol
Miami Beach-Sobe is nice and is everything people say it is..women are fine and abundant in all colors. You have to check your women though because a huge coke epidemic..I've never seen so many cokeheads in my life...clubs/lounges all over...too many to count. Whatever new club is opening up in your city probably started in Miami 2 years earlier...
Cubans run shit...Puerto Ricans are flowing in as well now. Small Brazilian population along with Haitian/Colombians/Jamaicans and Dominicans...Cuban women are fine but their racist ass parents will give you shit if your black...I do not understand Cubans but that's another thread...
Pretend Miami is another country because all the natives speak either spanish or french/creole. You will have a hard time finding a job if you do not speak Spanish and in fact you will face discrimination for it...
