PROS and CONS of Living in Miami Florida - Things to know before moving to Miami Florida

[@jhon_vlogs9793]

Best video from people in my area who are considering to move there . Great content! Keep creating! 👏

[@LivingInMiami_FL]

Thanks a lot 😊

[@josephpreston6686]

It must be nice to be as rich as you to be living in Miami and having somebody to clean your pool while you do a KZbin video😊 of course you can talk about how it's nice to live in Miami the pros and about posting the pros and cons about living in Miami. You should post about living in Miami the pros and cons about living as being poor working a 40-hour job a week and only getting paid minimum wage. I am dyslexic I didn't choose to be born this way and I struggle working for your our job a week getting paid about $20 an hour. And I can't afford to pay rent so you tell me how great is too well. You are a donkey. Since my voice time does not type cuss words LOL.😂😂😂

The biggest con is the language barrier. It is highly recommended that you speak Spanish before moving to Miami for ordinary Americans. I know English is taught in school but that doesn't mean the city is going to be "English friendly" when students finally grow up. They don't want their city to be like Cleveland or Seattle. They want the city to be very receptive with the Spanish language from culture to everything. If you leave the public sector aside, all the good paying or respectable jobs require to speak Spanish or English and Spanish. Moreover business meetings, from mom-and-pop shop to bank office like City National Bank. So Miami is a unique American city with a very enduring language in mind.

[@LivingInMiami_FL]

Thanks for your input! We always appreciate differences of opinions 🙏🏼. Living here my entire life, I wouldn’t say that it’s necessary to know Spanish. Sure, there are some neighborhoods that have more Spanish speakers than others but the majority of Spanish speakers here also speak English. I have plenty of friends that only speak English and they have never had any issues with language barriers. The ordinary lower level jobs tend to have many Spanish speakers that eventually learn to speak English - respectable, good paying jobs here require that you know how to speak, read and write in English. If you happen to know a second language, it’s just a bonus. Miami is a beautifully diverse place with many different cultures and people - they may speak a second language but most of them know English. We have thousands of families moving here from New York, Texas and California who only speak English and they are loving the lifestyle. With that said, everyone has different experiences and it’s possible to have an issue with the language here but overall, in my opinion, it’s not necessary to know Spanish but it wouldn’t hurt to learn a few words 😅

No state tax, but property tax is higher than most of the nation. And home owners insurance premiums are higher because of hurricanes and Florida’s has any flood zones, so the cost balances out overall.

[@LivingInMiami_FL]

Property taxes in Florida are actually middle of the pack. Not even in the top 15 of most expensive states. Yes, insurance rates are higher than most states but that’s common with the more popular states. Thanks for your input!

[@deejames9380]

You can't just pick no state income tax of the benefit without also stating how that is offset by high sales taxes home insurance etc.

[@lizandrasuarez4212]

As a fellow Miamiam, I completely agree with both the positives and the negatives! Although hurricane parties can be kind of fun !

[@LivingInMiami_FL]

Hurricane parties are definitely fun as long as everyone stays safe!

I love Miami. You never run out of things to do and see. Yes, it’s expensive to live there but it’s because the quality of life is also extremely high.

[@libby305]

I have traveled and lived abroad and returning home at the end of the day. No place like Miami.

[@LivingInMiami_FL]

Couldn’t agree more!

[@ShonWilsonOfficial]

For me, the flat landscape is a pro not a con. I grew up in Charleston and lived most of my adult life in Charlotte. For the past 12 years, I've been in L.A. and have still not gotten used to its high altitude and the awful aesthetic of what they call "hills" but are clearly mountains. They make me feel surrouned and trapped. I'm a wide open spaces kinda girl. You know, a southerner! LOL! PLUS I'm afraid of hights. Thanks for this awesome detailed interview. So helplful!

[@LivingInMiami_FL]

LOL. I totally get it! Thanks for your input! Glad you enjoyed the video 😁

[@Frag_Limit]

The closest city we can get to Vice city is Miami so hell yeah!

[@knightpage4492]

You will never believe what Vice city is based of 😂

[@aakashjason803]

​@@knightpage4492 Scarface right?

[@samyarparsa9685]

@aakashjason nope, its based off miami

[@Ferdinand_FE]

Bro, you're leaving out a lot of CONS. I grew up in Miami, and I can tell you Miami has changed for the worse. Everything is overpriced, the horrible traffic, the people's nasty attitudes, the customer service everywhere sucks, the driving is terrible, the superficial women, the fake people, the rent, the high cost of real estate, and the high car insurance. There's nothing nice about the people in Miami. It's voted the rudest city in America. NYC has nicer people than Miami.

[@LivingInMiami_FL]

Thanks for your input! We appreciate you watching the entire video. I was born and raised here and my experience has been very different. I believe no matter where you live, you’re always going to find the good and the bad. It’s the attitude you bring forth and the ability to adapt that helps make any place, a great place to live. I can say that I’ve encountered more nice people than rude people in Miami, maybe it’s because of who I choose to associate myself with. There are superficial people in any major city, but my fiancé, closest friends and family are not. I did a search for the rudest cities in America and Miami wasn’t in the top 10 of any article I read - however, NYC was on the top of almost every article. I guess at the end of the day, it’s all subjective.

[@richardramfire3971]

I don’t mind visiting Miami but I would never want to live there. The people are the rudest of any place I have traveled. Rude Latin people

[@laptoptrappers]

Cost of living is definitely something you left out 😂 other than that it was spot on

[@marniepena5232]

Agree plus shootings in the I95 and everywhere, more people more traffic more high prices , every where is crowded and expensive

[@LivingInMiami_FL]

Thanks for your input! We’re looking to have a full cost of living video soon 😎

[@iansimpkins2570]

I've lived here 17 years and you've made all excellent summaries, but bro traffic here is NEVER easygoing. Like EVER.

[@LivingInMiami_FL]

Thanks for your input! Traffic can definitely be an issue here. If you head out with enough time to spare and tune into a great podcast/ song, then it definitely helps make it more bearable.

[@MissFiore]

[@davidmarchisotto9780]

Why do people keep calling this city a "huge melting pot"...it simply isn't, the largest part for the population is latin...they may come from different countries but that's not the same as what you see on the streets in NYC or Chicago.

[@LivingInMiami_FL]

@@davidmarchisotto9780 thanks for your feedback! Yes Miami is known for its diverse Latin cultures but you can’t ignore the influences from the Caribbean and Europe! Miami is a place you can meet people from all over the world 😎

Im in Orlando as a Licensed Massage Therapist & Trainer. Im considering moving closer to Miami. I love the workout section on muscle beach and everything else. Thoughts on job market down there for me?

[@LivingInMiami_FL]

Hi! As far as the job market for a Licensed Massage Therapist & Trainer we are not too sure since that is not in the scope of our industry but Miami is full of tourism and hospitality which should aide in you finding countless opportunites. Happy to help you make the move when you are ready!

the only advice you need is travel there before you decide to move see if you vibe with the place hell maybe rent for 6 months or something just to as us english like to say put the feelers out there

[@gp7032]

How about mosquitoes??? My daughter can’t be in a mosquito-infested city… is there a lot in Miami?

[@LivingInMiami_FL]

Florida in general has a lot of mosquitoes because of the sub-tropical environment but when I’m out and about in the city of Miami, I’ve never had an issue with mosquitoes being a nuisance. My recommendation would be to visit and see if you feel it’s an issue.

[@mauricioramirez9744]

It might be an issue near lakes and canals...places like the Everglades for example.

[@johnjunior22]

Cons transportation is a first world country’s problem. Some third world countries would love to have that same problem. In my country they put 30 people in a small bus that supposed to take 16 people.

[@LivingInMiami_FL]

Agreed! Wow… that’s shocking. Doesn’t sound too safe 😅

How is ubering in Miami?

[@LivingInMiami_FL]

Very easy. Plenty of Ubers in any area and you can get one at any time of the day or night.

[@josevaldez5648]

Miami is not nice place as far as people are concerned, People are not nice, Rude very rude in stores, People dont know how to make a line and wait their turns. They dont have manners, they cross your path rudely, no etiquette, all show no substance. People are more worried about how they look, what you drive, what you wear, instead of how they treat people, Traffic is insane, Offensive rude drivers. As I said, Its nice "visually" at a long glance but its all show. High crime. High cost of living, low wages, high cost of insurance, everybody is trying to grift and hustle. Strong employment market for cheap labor yes. Yea door dash delivery as a job, Yea they always talk about the people moving to FL but they never talk about the people that have left or have stayed because now they cant leave they are stuck.

[@LivingInMiami_FL]

Thanks for your input! I’m sorry your experience here hasn’t been the greatest - definitely seems like Miami isn’t for you and that’s okay! Wishing you the best wherever you end up!

How long u been in Miami!!!! LOL!!! People are NOT nice in Miami . I live there 6 years . Everything else I agree with . Miami can be a very lonely place as making friends , and am an extremely kind and friendly person . And most people are NOT trust worthy on top of it , I learned its because most people go for 6 months or less . Witch its also one of the reasons u must pay 3 months in advance for rents etc.. BTW the food its fantastic and its a beautiful place with many scenery's... most everywhere you go . The beaches ROCK! also a great place and easy to fine sexual pleasures . Love it there thinking of moving back but this time knowing what to expect . :)

[@LivingInMiami_FL]
