I see them bull dozeing the everglades in a few years to make more room. but hopefully they can remain solid on not expanding the UDB so that all the unused space inside it is used and have the city proper of miami look like lower manhatten with skyscrapers everywhere. if that happens that means that expanding the metrorail will become finacially feasible and Miami will finally will become a proper Alpha City.

7.5-8.5 million. I think the growth will slow down or stabilize in Dade county, due to the lack of develop-able land which may lead to more high rise developments. Pinellas County is probably a good indicator of how things will turn out. The same thing will also start to happen in Broward and then Palm Beach county will become the leader of growth in South Florida due to the county having more land to build on and expand.

I seriously doubt they are going to bulldoze the Everglades as the picture belows demonstrates :

Miami-Dade I can see getting to 3.4-3.5 million by 2040 at current pace.

I can see Broward and Palm Beach matching it as well, a total of at least 2.5-3.0 million people being added for Southeast Florida by then.

Growth is going to be Toronto model almost.

well not all of it but some. I also think that if they hold the urban development line then we could see multiple Urban Downtown forming. one is already beginning in kendall. I see more forming in Homestead, West Palm beach, and in the Port St Lucie area( I see the metro area expanding to Fort Pierce and port st lucie) by 2040 I could see the south florida metro area hitting 10 millon people so long as immigration freindly laws are passed the usa economy does'nt collapse and no great miami hurricanes pass through all unlikely things I know but I can still hope

I am still trying to figure out why immigrants would want to leave their banana republics for a more expensive banana republic.

trust me Miami is not a more expensive banana republic our purchaseing power is much much higher than say Colombians in Bogota or Argentineans in Cordoba.

Actually we tend to under-estimate how expensive foreign cities can really be sometimes. Cant speak for most of Latin America but coming from somewhere like Fortaleza, Belo Horizonte, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires, Santiago, Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey, Cancun, Panama City, San Jose, Valparaiso then Miami is typically more affordable and manageable than those cities unless you were living in a rough area in those places.

yes I can't tell you how many times I had sticker shock when was in bogota. the prices we about the same as here but what the people over there make is not even half of what most people make here.

If the people that made-up a city, a country, a nation are morally degenerate, all what they to will be trash....

A bunch of people that not have familiar consept, not have moral and are extremely materialist can't create a good civilization.

The type of people that abound in miami is that stereotype with yucca's face, sunglasses, and arrogant and loafer attitude.

And the black scums from the black gettos win the prices in that.

Furthermore, more people (more population) is equal to more crime, more degeneration, more negativity, more evil....
You don't know about the consequense of live in a big mass of degenerate people.
