Moving out of Miami (Miami Beach, Mayo: real estate, hotels, schools)

[compelled to reply]

It's kind of like the invisible fence they have to keep the roaches out of Weston.

You gave me a hard time earlier, so i'm going to give you a hard time now. You referr to people as " not experiencing miami". but honestly, just because someone lives in one part of miami, doesn't mean they never venture out.. sure that person lived on miami beach, but who's to say they never left? you told me I have a tourists perspective, I don't even eat in coconut grove, i frequent restaurants in overtown, little havana and sweetwater and have had nothing but great service. Everybody is always friendly and is always proud to ask me what I think of their meal or to speak with me about where they are from. Maybe YOU are the one who had a bad attitude and are the reason people were rude.

You have to burglarize unlocked cars to make money in Weston.

Rent is way too high and doesnt go in proportion with the salaries. Too many uneducated hispanics too who dont care of learning English at all and think that Americans have the obligation to learn Spanish!!! I consider myself very well raised (I come from a good family) well educated and speak English (Its not perfect but I am trying)...
The weather during the summer gets me sick to the point I get headaches. I love the winter time though...
I want to move to other state or further north where the weather is cooler, but i woudnt survive living in NJ where the winter is eight months a year.... Where I can find a good job that goes in proportion with cost of living. I love nature, mountains, lakes, but I also love arts and being close to theaters etcs And, where people are actually nice and polite. Any ideas?

I agree with you about Miami. I am cuban and can't wait to get out of here people are so rude and not educated! Go to NJ for about a week or so and find out about jobs and so on. Good Luck!

Colorado is a great place to live I would love to move there! Also is not nice telling people they will be miserable thats not a good advice. Most of the people who defend Miami are as low class as the rest of them. Miami is a nice place but the people are rude and you might not know because we all often follow along and dont notice! Miami was voted as the most rude drivers and is true. This is personal opinion and I don't blame anyone for wanting to move especially people who have traveled outside Miami and seen the difference!

You should check out

Boulder, CO (beautiful surroundings and educated people)
Portland, OR (friendly people, clean and vibrant downtown)

I'd choose Boulder out of the two, but you can't go wrong with either.

let me just say...the kids in Kendall are nothing but a bunch of shiesty backstabbing two timers that will turn on each other in a blink of an eye. I was down there for 4 days last month and witnessed the entire process...over non-sense. They're childish and ridiculous.

You have witnessed it in Kendall because that is where you were but you have described ALL of S.Florida REGARDLESS of race/ethnicity and Relegion .

The worse representation of all groups when it comes to rude,narcist ,inconsiderate seems to flock here.
Most Kids here would run over their grandmother if it meant they got a new IPOD and their parents would join them .
Ofcourse the good kind of Ipod to not cheap one I have lol.

There are great,good people but a fraction compared to what I was used to in PA.

There are nice people but compared to most places in truth Miami lacks .

When I was in the Army and stationed over-seas we used to say that we couldnt wait to go back "to the world" (aka USA )however I noticed the guys from Miami never said that lol

That was a joke but all kidding aside most here leave alot to be desired but my sister who lives like 20 minutes from me does agree with you.
So for some it seems different than for others.
