He's missing other areas such as Brickell, most owners are Hispanics but not tenants.
Pinecrest was 30 percent Hispanic in the year 2000, it must be more than 50 percent now.
Olympia Heights, Glenvar Heights, etc.

I'm not sure about your fixation with Hispanics...

We could mention that over 25% of Miamians live below the poverty line too (in the city of Miami), and then make a tentatively link to Miami's population being over 50% Hispanic, but that would be stupid obviously.

Many Anglos in Miami cannot stand that is a predominantly Spanish speaking city now. Those left are the hobo types or the few who actually choose to learn Spanish. The rest left for bible country further north long ago. Most of the whiners, complainers and haters left are disgruntled northeastern people, most of whom will eventually leave anyway, to be replaced by wealthy South Americans and entrepreneurial Cubans who have made Miami what it is today rather than another boring Florida town.

What he said. 25% below the poverty line in the City of Miami, or about 20% in Miami-Dade (i.e. 1 in 5!)

Are you familiar with these areas at all? If so, I would be surprised if you found my images to be "deceptive," as they are actually pretty representative of their respective neighborhoods.

There are several apartments, but most of the area is made up of single-family homes. Also, most of the apartment complexes are well-kept; not like the area is "ghetto" by any stretch of the imagination.
