You are talking about a U.S. city on an American platform. Why are you using metric measurements??? In Florida nobody knows what 317 meters looks like or 148,000 square meters. We know what 1040 feet looks like and what 1.6M square feet of office space can hold. I don't understand why you won't gear your language to your audience.

They all worked all their lives to be there. Now they are all probably pushed out by these Uber Snobbers and their self possessed unconscious natures. They will soon see they are up to their ears in water as their money isn't something that can change the ocean.Vancouver, BC also with the same situation built a sea wall that is causing more erosion than the natural disaster it was hoping the wall would resolve . And the world will watch and laugh and the appreciation of the development will drive up the value of investments and every building will be insured for all natural disasters. This planned strategy will become the greatest heist ever...it will put all the insurance companies in a state of bankruptcy.

Miami is a city that has always put profit first, tourists second, and infrastructure dead last. We have built a record number of highrise condo's in the last two decades but have only added ONE new elevated transit station to the cities metrorail. The transit system should have extended further south, further across the bay to Miami Beach, and more north-eats into areas along Biscayne Blvd. Extra buses, more trolly-like connectors, and an elevated line to Miami Beach would greatly reduce traffic along the causeways to the beaches.

From what I gathered, the city was not built properly to accommodate so many people and building high rises is not going to help that out. I’ve driven in south Florida in general and I almost feel like I’m witnessing car slavery with how dependent the area is on roads and driving. I bet the flooding wouldn’t be so bad if the concrete wasnt so invasive, the lack of greenery is sad.

Weren’t designed as cities to begin with. Urban sprawl took place just because. Everything in Florida apart from St Augustine, was designed as a vacation spot for the Uber wealthy of Victorian/Gilded Age and prior period. Then the poor who worked for the vacation spots needed a place to live. These became the first actual towns and cities. But it was sprawled. Most historic neighborhoods in Florida were gentrified in the last 40 years, before then they were the “old poor neighborhoods”. So everything else was swamp land basically. It is similar to the Netherlands in a way.🤷‍♂️

These companies are big enough to take advantage of the low taxes and cheaper property for short term gains but can easily relocate when the time comes. But I could be wrong so time will tell.

You're totally right. All of these major companies will bail on Florida and (and Texas for that matter) as climate change gets worse and when employees complain about the lack of infrastructure and services. A lot will end back in the Northeast, but also the Gleat Lakes and Northwest. All places that are set to handle climate change better due to natural advantages. Governments in the north are more willing to build to combat climate change (near the ocean and inland), but really the natural climate and geography are what will protect it.

Other than downtown's massive luxury condo towers, miami is almost all single family sprawl. Because there's an urban growth boundary, it really can't sprawl out nearly as much anymore.

Our culture has changed dramatically and locals are forced to move further from the city due to a high increase of rent up to 50% since pre COVID while wages remain stagnant. Truly unsustainable.

You need to talk about the problem with single family zoning in Miami, the reason why rent has increased so drastically is in part due to transplants, but another variable is that upwards of 93% of south Florida is zoned for single family housing. We need more multi-use "missing-middle" housing to keep up, but that is just not profitable so the poors are forced to move, this losing the cultural identity of their neighborhoods, I.E. Little Haiti and how it's being gentrified as wynwood expands.

Miami isn't going anywhere unless they can get a handle on their transportation infrastructure. Miami traffic is already insane. A friend of mine who used to live there left after an incident in which he got stuck in gridlock and took 9 hours to go 3 miles. And this kind of gridlocked traffic is a daily occurrence in Miami. In order to gain the status of a "major city" Miami will have to vastly improve mass transit to give people options other than cars to go anywhere.

I’m 20 minutes north of downtown in one of those outer-burds to which the video is referring. Rent didn’t soar here but it took a wallet impactful jump. The problem is that Ft Lauderdale is also growing though not nearly as fast, but noticeably fast, and that’s impacting us for two reasons. Firstly, the spillover impact from Miami. Secondly, to Ft Lauderdale we are not an outer-burb but a suburb, so that growth has a direct impact. However, flooding isn’t as much of an issue with Ft. Lauderdale bc it’s downtown is more inland and doesn’t sit on the water, aside from the Ft Lauderdale river.

Regular flooding is a feature of Miami. Refer to : “Increasing flooding hazard in coastal communities due to rising sea level: Case study of Miami Beach, Florida,” was published in the June 2016 issue, Vol. 126 of the journal Ocean and Coastal Management. The study’s authors include: Shimon Wdowinski, Ronald Bray and Ben P. Kirtman from the Rosenstiel School (Miami University ; and Zhaohua Wu from Florida State University. Not a long term location - short term (5 to 10 years) and take the tax breaks and prepare to run !

Hurricanes will be bad, but salt water incursion will be worse. The entire Florida peninsula is porous limestone. As the sea level rises, the water table will rise and get saltier. Foundations for buildings and bridges are going to corrode. Buried infrastructure will corrode and get flooded. It is like a forest where all the trees' roots are being killed by a disease. It is just a question of what finally brings it all down: insurance companies with chainsaws or a hurricane.

im glad someone has said it, housing cost is unrealistic. Not very easy asking for $4k a month from your job because rent is $2k a month being the new norm...

I live in Miami and we are gonna need a metro system very soon! not the metro rail or metro mover, but an actual subway system. There's like 100+ apartment buildings being built with massive parking podiums that can hold 500 cars each!

It’s impossible for Miami to have an underground metro since we are right at sea level. We can’t even have basements!

I disagree with the elevation theory. It’s more to do with the fact that these areas are adjacent to highly desirable neighborhoods and will be primed for gentrification in the coming years, even without climate change

You should still go visit but just keep in mind it’s def not the same chill laid back beach metro it used to be. I visited Miami every year since before COVID & even after COVID. There’s a huge difference & I don’t like it anymore at all. The culture has changed & it’s not in a good way. Also you should still go just to go. The beaches are beautiful & the water feels good to be in.

Its worth noting that not only is Miami going to flood soon, so will its freshwater source in the Everglades/lake Okeechobee as Florida Bay spreads north.

@@johnperic6860 It absolutely is. Millions of gallons of drinking water is pulled daily from Lake Okeechobee. It is not a water source for Miami though, which gets the vast majority of its water from the Bisqayne aquifer. Doesn't change the fact that these aquifers are at extreme risk for saltwater intrusion and have already started to dry up in areas.

A way to prevent development where it is unwarranted is for the governments' of Florida and Federal to declare that they will not be the insurance of last resort for environmentally related disasters. It will be up to private insurance.
