What’s so special about worldcenter? Well, it’s just one of the many major projects going on right now in the Magic city. We’re in the middle of a cultural and economic shift after COVID, which is creating some pretty tall new buildings that have been changing since the start of the global shutdown back in 2020. So today, we’re talking all about Miami Worldcenter and how it's transforming Downtown Miami for better or for worse....

Miami has been for decades a city of transplants from all over the world and all over the country. It’s really hard to find many people who are actually from Miami, born and bred as the expression goes. I grew up in Miami, I lived in Miami for over 30+ years, I called Miami my home but I wasn’t really “from” Miami. Wasn’t born there, I was 3 years old when we moved there. So I guess that’s sort of close to being from Miami? In any case I don’t live there any more, moved away almost 20 years ago.

[@jean-claudelol563]

@@Distress. Many buildings have not fared well in the much weaker storms that have grazed the Miami area since Hurricane Andrew. Given that, I wouldn’t put much faith in those codes when they finally are put to the test with a direct hit by another category 4 or 5 storm. Not to mention Miami was actually spared a direct hit, the bulk of the damage was down by Homestead towards the southern end of Dade county. Which means all the buildings that were already there prior to Hurricane Andrew are still there with the same codes they were built with 40, 50, 60+ years ago. Fortunately most of those older constructions were built stronger than the current codes but that hasn’t saved similar constructions with direct hits in other areas of the state, they have just fared slightly better than newer construction.

Also, all of this is predicated on public safety of downtown Miami, which isn't great, tbh. Who wants luxury condos if violent crime is happening on street level and who will visit luxury shops if they are smashed and grabbed by mobs? Miami's government needs to address it first.

This is all so interesting to me because that area floods just with a mini thunderstorm, we have yet to see the disaster from a real hard hit tropical storm to that area. I would not invest there because it’s not a matter if it could all be destroyed its a fact and it’s a ticking time bomb

They're obviously not being required to have a % of rentals that are for low income, disabled, etc! Miami claims they can't keep up with building enough "affordable" housing but they don't require these mega projects to have a set % of units for the low once residents, like many other major cities require! No low income units...no permits period! It would help ALL residents of Miami...NOT JUST THE ELITE!!!

[@urbaninternational]

Fair arguments. Do you think lack of affordable housing is the biggest problem in worldcenter? Asking b/c some other comments have raised big points similar

Hey guys, it's me, Hurricane Andrew. Don't forget about what I did to you all 30 years ago. And then your government helped create a real estate boom in hopes to bring in more tourism dollars.

[@lucansanchez5129]

They should raise land level to avoid flooding. raised land level should be a standard process when demolishing and re building as part of process as legal requirements for coastal and in land cities for a safe guard system for the future. It should be a crime to build on below sea level all around the world based on in land building engineering and construction for residential, commercial and industrial. And as well iI think re sourcing recycle building materials from demolished old town and village and landscaping and moving people into the city should be a priority to integrate people into 21 century living every body should live in a city especially children growing up.
