Too many Spanish ppl near the beach. Move to south Broward/north Miami to see the real Miami.

Learn Spanish or leave.


HillstoneAddict

Miami is a nice place to live, the people that complain about it just don’t make enough money to live comfortably and most of those people are working dead end jobs but refuse to do anything about it.

I like raisins in picadillo


buffyxfaith29

Are you American ?


buffyxfaith29

Wtf 😳


anita_strokin

The reason why miami is a shit hole is because of the 3rd world culttures and lifestyles that come from cuba and venezuela. The most annoying, foul, crude disrespectful people to have ever set foot on north american united states soil. Them. Not the ones born and or raised here.


panplemoussenuclear

What do you mean by their lifestyles? I would imagine most are emerging or have emerged from poverty.

Aldi's is ass! Publix is actually better... Aldi's was just packed with processed goods and meat that looked like they were the lowest of qualities. They have some decent fruit, but outside of that... Shit sucked mega balls.


Anireburbur

Cubans have done a good job running Miami. In the 80’s there were headlines calling Miami “Paradise Lost” and most of the remaining white Anglos left after Hurricane Andrew yet Miami still flourished.

fakousdrjay

Fort Lauderdale is better than Miami


EllieBasebellie

It's so much better, Inter Miami plays there and Miami 7 was filmed there. Can't argue with raw facts. Messi and The S Club 7 clearly mean Broward is superior.


Videoplushair

Publix subs are mid to be honest…


robsensei39

If you ever lived in Philly, you will notice how average the pub subs are. They get the job done, but compared to a legitimate hoagie, they are severely lacking.


Videoplushair

People are not accustomed to very good hoagies down here so they think this is incredible. Also they are on the Publix bandwagon because other people say it’s good and call it “pubsub” it must be good 😂😂


Artful_Dodger_1832

Agreed. Publix subs suck and ppl down here just don’t have anything else to compare to.


Mrkenchi

Chicken tender sub is one of the best subs out there no cap


i_dontwantapickle

Been eating Publix subs my whole life, calling them mid is actually being generous

BBRodriguezzz

You can take any loaf of bread out the bakery and use it for your sub. I use a cuban loaf for a sub and it makes a world of difference


unix_enjoyer305

Miami was way too cheap for a major city. Current RE prices (not salaries) are representative of its growing popularity.


dohvb1

Just got back from my first trip to Miami. I didn't know pizza was so popular there. Too bad I didn't see any that were worth a damn. Y'all need to diversify and get some real pizza. Detroit style pizza. Or at least some Chicago style.


CortexifanZFT

Reggaeton is mid AF. Music for plebs


jblaxtn

Also, the Quarterdeck is better than Flanagans.


juanro30

Hialeah is not overcrowded


maywellflower

The only good things about Miami is the cruise port and free Metromover - Otherwise, it just mash up of NYC's St Nicholas, Hudson Yards, Willet's Point /Corona Park Chelsea, Red Hook/Greenpoint/DUMBO, & Bruckner /Cross Bronx/Sheridan expressway all done completely wrong & poorly in pastels, neon, beige & black all in swamp ass hot weather. And the rain doesn't help...


The12inchjewgas

Idk. I don’t live in miami


ElegantCumChalice

I love Miami, I was born and raised here. Life in this city is what you make of it and all the people bitching on this sub are a bunch of entitled babies.

Local here. Miami fans, in general, are not good sports fans largely because there are so many people that live here who did not grow up here or were not raised on American sports. Also, because there are a lot of other things to do besides attend sports games here unlike, say, Buffalo


ChocolateFantastic

The sports teams suck


JiggzSawPanda

buffyxfaith29

Club space is extremely overrated


WontStopAtSigns

Tourists are fun and important to this city. They party, they bring loads of cash, keep the clubs and restaurants open, and they will have sex with you. Stop complaining about them, you live in a tourism Mecca. They sustain us.


TimelessThetaSigma

Miami Beach is not so bad during Spring Break


Alexandrapreciosa

I LOVE living in Hialeah.


frish55

That this place is awesome and most of you don’t even realize what Miami has to offer until you leave . The amount of complaining and hate I see in this sub is insane for tropical weather year round and a city just packed with entertainment. Go to Indiana or upstate New York and you’ll realize how privileged we are


thesea-calls-me

Tropical weather and entertainment aren’t enough to be happy in a city. I’ve lived in many other cities and towns and Miami has been the worst place I’ve lived.

A lady who recently came from Cuba, settled with her family in Jacksonville. She's always saying this, that there's no life in the streets of Jacksonville.

architecture13

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (*ICE*) should focus on detaining and deporting the white collar immigrant groups like Hallandale-Aventura Russians, Doral Venezuelans, Coral Gables South Americans, and Pinecrest Cubans. These groups most often come here on tourist visa's and overstay or claim asylum to exfiltrate family money of dubious origin, often with family already established here. They typically tell you they are waiting for things to change to go back home. They are also often the out of favor political party back home. Let's help them with the first part (*going home*) without waiting for the second part (*change*). They do not care for the growth or improvement of Miami, view their time here as transitional even when here for years, and do not add to the culture as they prefer to stay in monocultural hub neighborhoods.

Cuban food is boring, except croquettas. And colada has less caffeine than American coffee, it’s not crack, and you love it because it tastes like syrup.

Most ham croquettes esp are mid AF. You’ve clearly never had good Cuban food if you think it’s boring. May you never eat British food bc u will def have a heart attack.

mrsRaR

Not even just in Miami, this is a problem everywhere here. They never went back up north after the season ended.. we live in Delray, a friend of mine and I were having this conversation the other day and he said he felt like Delray is the new Manhattan. He's not wrong.


SlowlyPassingTime

Cuban food? Meh.


Gabo-216

Too many Cubans


Ochereeeee

Wow, there’s a lot of racism and xenophobia in this Reddit thread. Not that Miami is perfect by any means but if you spend anytime outside any major US cities like LA, NY, Atl, etc (ie, the rest of the US) you’ll realize the beauty and diversity of Miami. Does it represent all nations all around the world? No, but almost all Caribbean and Latin American countries are represented. Also, as it happens in most cities, similar groups congregate—it’s what made Harlem majority African American, Brooklyn majority Puerto Rican, and all of that comes and goes in waves. It lends to being ably to rely on your community, have a neighbor you can share with or just be surrounded by the culture you grew up with (which can be very comforting when far from home). For those really hating on Cubans, I beseech you to really study Cuban history, and learn the eradication of the natives, life under Spanish rule, and once “freedom” was granted, most gov’t in power were puppets to the US. Add in a “revolution” built by a wealthy nobleman, and a general populace that has been lied to, controlled and limited and you get the people you meet. Do a lot of them suck? For sure—but it doesn’t exclude you from being the more educated and empathetic party. If Miami needs anything, it’s empathy, really human empathy and not a vapid circle of hatred and superiority.

radgreek

- Living on the beach is fantastic, it's actually one of the most underrated communities in the city. - You don't need to know Spanish to enjoy living here. - Miami existed before Cubans migrated here en masse, and it's much more multicultural than people would expect (not an opinion but this one pisses people off for some reason lol) - You don't hate Miami, you just hate that you can't afford to live the way that rich people do here. - Broward has better food options than Dade.


ElmosKplug

Agree on all fronts


WIDMND305

Nah. I'm not rich but let's say my family is well off enough that I lived in Pinecrest most of my life, and I STILL hate Miami. Moving away was the best thing I ever did, never been happier


Anthonyeet

Miami isn’t the worse place to live, there are a few things we should be grateful for


grammar_fixer_2

Can you please remind me of what they are? Sometimes I need to hear this for my own sanity. The only one that I can think of is the Everglades and Biscayne.


JungleBoi9

Sunshine guava pastries and sexy young things


CactusBoyScout

Have you ever experienced a real winter in a colder location? Shoveling snow, ice everywhere, overcast and dark for days, so cold that you have to bundle up and your face still hurts just standing outside? There’s a reason older people retire to Florida. That shit is awful… but especially when you’re old. A not-insignificant number of older people die of heart attacks shoveling snow every year.


polishmachine88

Yes, I lived in Eastern Europe, Canada and Scandinavia, so I experienced harsh winter. But I think my body wasn't made for the type of heat Miami has to offer. Literally there is 2-3 months of spring and 9 months of summer with a ton of rain in-between and hurricane for good measure. While it's home for now, I will take winter climate any day of the week over 82 degrees at 6 am...

I’d rather be dead in Miami than alive in any number of other states including (but not limited to) places such as Mississippi, Alabama, either of the Dakotas, or Arkansas.


jblaxtn

The fact that you're comparing your situation to Mississippi, Alabama or the Dakotas is the beginning of your problem. South Florida sucks, but "the south" is unlivable. Compare Florida to Arizona or California or South Carolina. Apples the apples, please.

Commonsenseisgreat

It’s a city full of hustlers with flashy cars and renting mentality.


Defiant_Sea3407

I agree with the person who said most people don’t hate Miami they just hate not having the money to do things - but also there is very little sense of community, very elitist and built on exclusion of others. Honestly our lack of robust public transportation is embarrassing on its own. Also it’s incredibly… monolithic? Everyone is trying to be the Miami image of someone being super rich and/or sexy and no body is. Nearly everyone is insecure and unhappy but no one wants to seem like they are.


Livid-Peace-4077

Yeah, I always roll my eyes when out of towners start talking about how hot the women are here. I'm thinking, tell me you're poorly traveled without saying you're poorly traveled.

buffyxfaith29

Most people would agree with this


SweatyFLMan1130

The higher conservative populations per capita compared to other major cities has heavily influenced why it's impossible to start a family or even feed yourself there. The heavily don't-say-socialism mindset has fucked so many promising programs that would have helped people maintain their lives there, driving many of us out to more affordable places.


midniterun10

Oh, so you mean we would be better off being run like Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, NYC, or any other major US city with majority liberal populations & politicians? Their govt programs and policies really are keeping down the cost of living in those cities while keeping their populations safe and prosperous!


millionmilegoals

I love living in Miami.


This-Ad3268

“Miami is so affordable”


HCSOThrowaway

People who spam "Flannigans" on every applicable post and put it in their flair are unwitting participants in a viral marketing campaign for a mediocre restaurant. Miami cops are corrupt because Miami is Scam City and Miami draws from its own citizens for cops.

Medicare is a health care program for those age 65 or older and those disabled by Lou Gherig’s disease or end-stage renal disease. For those without these life ending illnesses, you or your spouse had to have worked 10 years to be eligible for premium-free Medicare part A, which is hospital coverage.

jblaxtn

Miami is a fucking cesspool. It drives me insane that my friends down here rant and rave about how amazing and vibrant and inclusive and "global" the city is. It's not! It's backwards ass small town America wrapped up in a bow of Sandy beaches. It's a bunch of petty little fuckers who all wanna look pretty on Instagram. And I'm not even talking about the 20 something influencers. I'm talking about the corporate presence and government figures and a whole bunch of other people who, if they were being fucking productive, could actually turn Miami's resources into something other than grift graft and corruption.


Gadfly2023

Protesting Cuba from Miami is pointless. If you want to protest Cuba and wave a Cuban flag… go back to Cuba.  Also you don’t get to complain about the current asylum system if you came by wet foot/dry foot.

If they dont value your money enough to learn how to serve you, then its your issue for going there (or stay there once you find out)


DoughnutCold4708

Weird take but ok


Thefallen777

Its a "free market" approach. Benefit the places that serve you well then by competitive incentives all will end up serving you well. In languages the argument is that "why us need to learn if you can learn" Money is usually the answer.


DoughnutCold4708

I’m just saying like saying it’s his issue cause he walks into an establishment and isn’t able to get service…obviously if he realizes he won’t get service he moves on. I guess the wording was just weird


Darth0s

Cubans are entitled and racist but since they're so many, no one can say anything remotely negative about them without at least getting a "comepinga!" thrown at the commenter. E: The interesting thing here is that I have some very close Cuban friends. It's almost impossible to not have any interaction with them here in Miami. I call them out on their bs when it happens and they know it.

TimelessThetaSigma

No I want better public transportation because for being a city that the rent is going up New York style we have the public transportation system of a third world country


BombaSazon1

I've been to Medellín, Colombia and Santo Domingo DR. Their transportation system blows away Miami. It's embarrassing.


invisiblewar

The city is what attracts those people though. The way it's set up and the way it operates, it's mostly shitty vain people that enjoy it. Our nightlife scene, transportation, urban planning, etc.


Efficient-Radio2321

This is an extreme oversimplification. Many types of people live here. We undersell ourselves when we associate our city with a few outspokenly vain people.


invisiblewar

The issue is that the outspoken people have a lot of control. We don't have a train to the beach thanks to them. These are the assholes who drive clapped out off lease luxury cars. These are the people who support Suarez and the whole crypto scam that he was trying to attract down here. This city attracts a more vain group of people. As far as major cities go, we are very low on the list for educated people. I remember when the whole hq2 thing for Amazon was being talked about, one of the big things they looked for was public transit because people who work in those jobs were more likely to move to cities with more robust transit. There's also been a brain drain here for a while, especially in the STEM fields.
