People in Miami are desperate, if someone dumps a washing machine or stove, it will be stripped. If they dump a toilet the lid will be gone. Anything aluminnum or copper flies away. In a third world country people survive by being resourceful. The new illegal apartment needs furniture, so any placed outside and easy to move will be gone. In my neighborhood if you put it out it will rot there. There was a barbeque by the street for 6 months, the county finally removed it.

People will rip you off in this city and if you were dying in the street, no one would stop to help you unless there was $$$ in it for them.
LOL I totally agree. I just write those sentences because that is exactly the way they think and they talk. I have heard worst things here against American people. Hate at its best.

In the street where I live, there were a pile of supermarket carts for about 10 months. They were so old that grass and trees grew up between the twisted metals. I AM NOT KIDDING OR INVENTING.

And you're right. I know by facts that probably 90% of homes here in Miami, have an illegal room for rent built in the garage so they pick up whatever they need from the streets to fill it up. And those rooms have the wonderful price of around 500 hundred bucks per month.

Of course....the worst racists in the United States are right here in La Republica-Banana-Habana-Miami-Dade, only they won't admit it.

Just look at how many illegal efficiencies there are here....it's f'd up. But since this is the third world, there are no rules & regs....just anarchy at its worst.

Sounds like Miami's changed quite a bit in that reagrd since I lived there in the 60s. At that time, the whites hated the blacks, the blacks hated the Cubans, and the Haitians were just starting to arrive, so no one claimed them to hate yet (except my 10th grade math teacher, who hated Gus, the Haitian kid who showed up in our class that year and whose only offense seemed to be that he couldn't spek English very well. I'm sure Gus is still in Miami and now has a long list of hatees himself!) So glad I'm not there any more!

ive never seen so many people openly hating as i have here. i grew up in an egalitarian society in southern california where if there was even a question that you were racist you were FIRED. most people get along pretty easily. it was quite a shock to see and experience real honest-to-God racism here. its so irrational and illogical to be racist but south florida doesnt run on rational and logical thinking.

There are a lot of regulations, but they are selectively enforced. Call Team Metro and see who they go after.
