As South Florida continues to grow, are longtime residents now being priced out? | Miami Life

[@foxselene9238]

I left miami in 2016... my 1 bedroom apartment was $900 a month, now that same apartment ks $2300...

[@anthonyhayes930]

Ma'am those developers aren't building low income housing. You are wasting your time. Y'all don't have deep pockets to fight this. Money runs America

[@JustMe-gs9xi]

Ma'am? what a condescending DOPE! Washing my TIME! HELL NO,, Fighting for JUSTICE is NOT EVER Wasting your TIme. and Money don't run America,,,,, GOD RUNS AMERICA

Wish miami would upgrade the drain systems and invest in new anti flood construction

[@_k3v1n_43]

water cannot be stopped . no matter how good drain system is if their is too much water it dont matter what they do or how much money they waiste.

[@jasoncrandall73]

Downtown Miami is about 3' above sea level. Miami is also installing more & more water pumps. Next step is sea walls. More & more residents along the bay are moving a few more miles inland displacing lower income residents.

[@nesq4104]

It's too late. The water table has risen and they reported it. There is no solution and the city is going to be uninhabitable as all the pipes fail

[@thechesburgerzrfzz808]

Right?! All Houses, and buildings are going to be destroy mostly due to flooding, and increased flooding.

[@Bronx_Yankee]

Pure greed. Architects design proper and legal drainage and sewage, construction companies come and cut corners. It’s selling a dream

[@LaMayimba90210]

Land ownership is key - you don't have a say if you aren't an owner. Focus on ownership.

[@wturner777]

But what if the land you own gets bulldozed for road projects and gentrification? Sure they’ll buy the land from you, but where are you going to live next since housing is too expensive?

[@LaMayimba90210]

​@@wturner777 yes

[@JAPARICAN50-50]

Blame all the people from the north the Venezuelans and the Russians all deciding to move to Miami out of all places for this

[@FS-zj5zk]

Greed. Happening in Broward too! All the charm and history gone to a concrete jungle that is pretty much vacant

[@bcusaaus4749]

Those neighbourhoods had decades to make a change.

[@lunallena5594]

The lesson here is pay for your own housing. Projects move. People get priced out with high property taxes and maintenance costs too. At the end of the day you need to make enough money to pay your own way. If you depend on the government to support you, you will be "displaced." The original Bahamian property owners sold their properties, so those complaints featured in this video have no legal basis.

Coconut 🥥 Grove is probably a lot safer of an area now👻

You see this in many of America's major cities especially coastal or near coastal cities.

When rents outpace salaries, this is what happens.

[@Moneypower572]

I love my city Miami but it’s not fair what we’re doing to certain neighborhoods, these people help build the community let’s help them, it feels like we just building for the Rich, I pray for Miami and South Florida we got to do better.🙏🏻☀️

[@JustMe-gs9xi]

Rich people ruined it,, truth,, i mean the one's who built condo's like cardboard boxes,,, those ones

[@Zach________]

A big issue is for the longest time it was way too easy to buy a house here so Floridians grew up in a bubble where they think $60k a year is successful

[@thatoneguy94512]

Called supply and demand. I want to live in Beverly hills, but I make 135k a year so I can't. That's how it goes

[@fanenthusiast3802]

Awe.

@fanenthusiast3802 the horror I'm enduring is unfathomable, glad you're here

[@TH-qb5fx]

But they were already living there

[@thatoneguy94512]

@TH-qb5fx and someone at one point was already living in Beverly hills and got pushed out. That's how supply and demand works

Unless you’re very wealthy, most won’t be able to buy or afford to live in Florida in 10 years.

it looks much nicer to me. what seems to be the problem??? not getto enough??

[@michaell.9253]

Right

[@ChickyRx]

exactly , they like living in filth

[@Staurcomb]

the problem is 2k+ rents

[@thatoneguy94512]

​@ChickyRx I bought I new construction near downtown st pete in a gentrification area. You're so right, the trash and filth is unreal. Never seen anything like it in my life

[@igetit7470]

You sound really American and real White. Wow, America has no hope. It is no longer the leader of the free world 🌎😢

[@prettygirlus9008]

But since the long-time homeowner residents sold out at the high prices, then they got rich!

[@bmwmission70]

I love the Grove! I once lived in the Grove on Virginia Street. That being said, if you love the grove and if you had wanted to be and stay a part of the Grove, you must invest in that neighborhood by purchasing a home or lot. So if gentrification were to occur, you would have a say about what occurred there. If you chose not to own, then is it really your neighborhood?

[@LaMayimba90210]

This is the key

[@lunallena5594]

Thank you!

[@adri_ramsahmania]

I dont think its a racism issues. This is common all across North America

[@wturner777]

But the predominantly black neighborhoods are usually the first to be bulldozed for expensive road projects and gentrification. All because the roads aren’t wide enough.

[@notyourtypicalfarah7194]

​@@wturner777 how's a black neighborhood when they don't own it?

[@MBT372]

It’s not racism, the same it’s happening in Hialeah

[@Bronx_Yankee]

When the Champlain Towers went down and I talked to insiders, I saw parallels to mine. I sold my condo in 44 days. The handwriting was on the wall. The only racist there is green, white people move in, it’s gentrification, racist….white people move out, white flight, racist. The Black Grove also should have seen the handwriting on the wall

[@WiseSilverWolf]

The traffic is already bad enough in Florida, if they make dedicated bike lanes then they will just take away regular traffic lanes to make the new bike lanes which will make traffic worse. Just use your bikes on the sidewalks.

[@HAMILTONPROVIDEO]

I agree. I ride a bike. Hardly anyone uses the sidewalks for walking anymore. Plus painted lines on a the street where cars going 40 mph are a dangerous joke.

[@Tharpej202new]

They don’t care. I lived in Miami. Money runs everything. There’s no value in human lives. As a result, God will handle it differently. You’ll see.

[@demonslayer9905]

Developers are building over that building that collapsed on those people while sleeping. They definitely don't value human lives.

[@Tharpej202new]

@@demonslayer9905 I believe you.

[@gdelacruzjr]

Long time residents needed to focus on buying

[@momo8200]

Same problem the country over. Unless zoning is changed to build denser housing and less single family homes within city limits and some form of rent control is introduced to disincentivize private money buying housing to simply jack up rents well above inflation levels.

[@smith7388]

I hope they win.

[@robertward8035]

Hopefully the new folks know how to swim. Economic replacement, funny it's ok when they do it 😮

[@orlandoalessandrini2505]

Yes we're being priced out. Have a nice day.

[@KB-Unc]

They bout tear that ish down 😆 🤣 😂 😹

[@Dohair879]

Affordable prices in Miami 🤣 Then if it’s not affordable it’s racist. When developers come in, they tear down and 1950’s condemned shack and build multi million dollar housing it now becomes unaffordable. I understand you feel that being pushed out of your home sucks, but you are not the only ones in Florida. We are changing into new California and no one cares about you. I would love to live in Aspen, guess what…I can’t afford it. My suggestion is to move to North Florida or South Georgia. Very much affordable. Make that your new home. We can no longer expect Florida to help. They want money here.

[@billyhorton5779]

this is different. Miami is being built to bring in more European and South American individuals. That's who has the money.

[@earnesthillsdale9218]

Soon nobody will be able to afford it , even the people who can are taking a step back . The prices are just silly unless you are super wealthy . It going to burst like bubble you wait and see . Look at car payments , those condos will sit empty .

Now everything is about money and the developers want every lot available specially in the Grove

​@@ThatsOPVright as a black home owner my first thought is. " this is fantastic for Black homeowners as their property values will skyrocket" No one's getting "forced out" rentals just aren't being renewed. (Unless these were cases of eminent domain in which case you would think they would have clearly mentioned that)
