you're so clueless about Miami that it's not even Funny. What don't you talk about Sitges and its average citizen?

I think he left USA when Kendall was yet to be part of "Miami". Back in the days people would refer to Miami Dade as SIMPLY Dade. I'm sure he knows a lot about the Greater Miami Area, but not the surrounding cities.

He knows 2 or 3 blocks in little Havana. That's it. And it wasn't THAT long that the county was called Dade only, he came in the Mariel and only stayed about a year in little Havana.

Said poster has been around under a couple of names. There's a bit of a track record of answering posts such as "Where is a good neighborhood to live in Miami-Dade?" with "Back in 1975...."

That's the problem. People are in denial.

To put this in perspective, people in general on City Data emphasize the negative and things tend to get skewed to a less favorable view than they really may be.

This sets the ground for people who think that to straighten the record they need to over compensate and make certain areas seem idylic or "the same" as everywhere else and to understate the problems or brush them under the rug or pretend they are isolated incidents.

Unfortunately, the people posting about Kendall and its crime increasing and lower quality of life are the ones who are more on the ball this time around. For a SUBURB as another poster wrote, Kendall is not "safe." It is physically far from everything and somewhat affordable, so people trying to escape the Miami ghetto make it out this way...so it's just basically thug migration and relocation within Dade County that is duing Kendall in...and these newcommers influence the youth from the area...and the area goes down hill.

And anyone who didn't see this coming has really been in the dark because this is nothing new, this trend has been going on easily over the past 10 years...and can be seen in all traditional middle class areas of the county, such as Westchester, Miami Lakes, Ives Dairy Rd, Hialeah, NMB, etc.

And to be fair, there are nice residential areas of Kendall that have little crime, are well kept and decent. But even the gated communities can be bad due to the residents who have moved in...

This phenomenom of the ghettoization of suburbs is common in Southern California also...so not totally unique to Miami.
