Is Miami really as dangerous and nasty as everyone says?

Yes there are bad parts(and im not trying to degrade those areas because im not like these rich snobs and know how hard it is for you guys) but there are plenty of good ones too! I went through liberty city at 3AM before and it wasnt really scary, on martin luther king and duglas road(not that im suggesting that you do it) and i ride bike and walk a lot of places like hialeah, liberty city itself and allapattah and im still living! Lol you guys are scarring yourselves to death and others as well! And some of the areas people mentined (hialeah, some parts of miami gardens, carol city and others) really arent that bad!!!

And a good neighborhood to live in is Miami Springs, which is basically small-town and right outside the big city and close to highways and entertainment! Its really great there somebody should go there and check it out! So yeah thats some of what i have to say, anyone who wants to give me a piece of their mind feel free to get at me!

I completly agree, these people need to take a Geography course or two at any University and raise there hand and say these outrageous statements and see the feedback they get from the educated!

Thanks Cougar Beach, I am not trying to make anyone feel bad but some of those statements are very uneducated.

Uneducated statements? I'm sure you could've found a better word than 'uneducated' to describe the kind of statements someone made...

Old members on the Miami forum always complain that some younger members like myself like to distort and exaggerate certain elements of Miami, ie its "3rd worldness". You are grossly exaggerating how safe a 'night' in Liberty City would be.

Midnight bike riders would encircle you in utter confusion, the police would give you funny looks as they drove by, and you would feel like more of an outsider than you ever have in your life.
