I agree but also disagree with you.
My 3rd visit to Miami in 10 years was this past June. The downtown/beach areas are doing nicely with the towering high rises with the huge driveways and parking garages....Some neighborhoods are doing nicely and are solid like little Havana, Wynwood and etc. those are GREAT.
But that being said....
I Then I have to ask you the question, have you seen what's happening outside of Miami? in the Burroughs of NYC ? The districts in LA? the outer bands of the Chicago loop ? the entire bay area ? Seattle? Houston ? Philly ? in comparison to those, the "Real neighborhoods" of Miami are in very poor shape. Seems like all of the investment is focused on the downtown and high-rise areas. The roads are terrible, sidewalks barely existed, the "Real" neighborhoods are seeing little to no development, and for a city that's actually land constricted, pedestrian/dense developments hardly exist in Miami.
Miami is trying sooo hard to make a mark and play with the bigger cities with its odd proposals for nearly a dozen thousand footers???? But its not paying attention to the bigger cities. Their downtowns are booming BUT their smaller hoods are also progressing and seeing tons of development. Miamis are not and are sadly being left behind. A solid downtown doesn't always make a city, the little neighborhoods do.
