Rising Tide: Priced Out In Miami | Full Documentary

[@ThatBronxgirl7]

I don't live in Miami but I have visited many times. I loved walking through, eating in restaurants, shopping in the small shops located in the beautiful communities of Little Haiti and Little Havana. So, I screamed when that idiot developer said they were "revitalizing the area." Those areas are already a full of vitality. The only thing new coming to that area are wealthy people, over priced restaurants and unaffordable housing.

This definitely is one of those sad things that can happen in a capitalist economy but they can still develop more humanely and stop lying about their truth and just tell the people straight up what they’re doing. Maybe they will truly revitalize the area and include the people currently living there if they are more honest.

I lived at the eastern end of the 79th street bridge on Miami Beach back in 1987 and let me tell you, every full moon tide the parking lot of our apartment building became flooded. With the flood waters came sewage floating in the parking lot of our apartment building. You had no choice but to wade through it to get to your home. My firstvfloor apartment got flooded 3 times in one summer so I moved inland, but even that wasn't safe from flood waters. We lived along the El Portel canal which was direct access to the intercoastal waterway. Hurricane Andrew flooded my home and removed the roof. At that point I decided to move back to the west coast of Florida. What a mistake that was. After Irma I decided that I didn't want to live in hurricane alley any longer. I'm a born and raised beach bum Florida girl but I'm happy up in the mountains of Georgia far enough inland that hurricanes don't do much other than cause more than a heavy rain event.

Why must we turn everything into a race issue. Money has no color. Do you think they would turn down your money if you are Indian. My God, we are just too race sensitive and it's not good for our kids heads. We need to look within more because we are becoming our own worst enemy.

I live in Miami. Yes, there is high tides sometimes, but if I can tell you the truth...The government doesn't maintain the drains. We had record rain and roads in suburbs gets flooded. Note..The beach is like 20-25 mins away from a suburb. The governor launched an investigation into why the storm drains didn't drain properly, even residents would say the drains would never be cleaned.

Why does Martin Feldman go through so much effort to sound reasonable and empathetic? It would be so much easier for him to say that he wants to empty mobile home park through extortionate rent increases so that he can make higher profit on land development. Stop the drama.

[@LadyCoyKoi]

I did a research personal project about land level 25 years ago (I was in high school at this time) and I was shocked to see that if my area flooded it meant that all of South Florida has disappeared in the water. Sea level rising is no joke, but like always those with money are exploiting those who lack it. That's the monetary-market system for you in a nutshell... someone is out to profit off on the misery, pain, suffering, struggles and deaths of another human being. This is no longer about politics, it is the outdated economic system itself that is the problem... time to evolve or die from sheer stupidity.

So they bulldozed it down and built a new neighborhood on top of it so we would be more comfortable here" Normal person "So you don't even know what it means to be from Little Haiti?"

Miami beach had a place called stiltville. The houses only lasted 40 years. Torn down in 1985 or 86. I loved those houses.

[@philipbohi983]

Stiltsville still exists in a much smaller form, the last time I was out there in 2013. I just went to Google Earth and you can see the remaining few homes…zoom in on Bill Baggs Park lighthouse on the tip of Key Biscayne, then look southwest a bit across the channel.

[@hgm826]

Yes there are still several houses in stiltsville. They on national park property (biscayne bay). They are owned and operated by the stiltsville trust and some of them may be rented. They are not near Miami Beach. They are much closer to key biscayne.

"Oceanfront property" is about to be redefined. The big question is who is going to pay to take down the current oceanfront property that is about to become ocean. Our government city, county, state, federal needs to be addressing this now. Everything has to be dismantled and cleaned up for when it's covered by water to minimize pollution and to keep the waters near the new coast safe.

The wealthy and retired move here to Florida and also want to live by the water BUT they just think flood insurance will cover this. It’s not meant to cover areas that KEEP flooding.
