I dont know about NYC. NYC continues to grow. Miami already is ranked 3rd in skyline in the US. Maybe it will compete with Chicago in 40 years or so. NYC is a bit of a strech. But I do think in the next 10-20 years Miami will see another building boom. The first one is really still going just a much slower pace now. But we have Biscayne one, the 1,000ft tall building will start going up soon around the same time Brickell City Center starts to goes up. Citicenter is going to be great too. Also we have the new Resort which will come downtown. And that will be a huge game changer. Hopefully the county government figures out it needs some good public transportation to make Miami hit the next level. Miami is never going to be NYC but it will continue to grow and compete with all the other cities in this country lik Chicago, DC, Boston, San Fran.

It will be done much quicker and at the best/largest scale possible if gambling is legalized in Florida/South Florida.
Miami dang you're so lucky! I'm jealous of you! I wish Philly was doing this and become more progressive.

Well nothing is for sure yet, the company have bought the land for 260 million dollars already though. This is the plan and compared to other plans in Miami that have come and gone this one seems the most realistic since it is all private, land is there etc.. Only problem is allowing gambling. Which hopefully we get pull through the state legislator soon.
I wish Miami had more Ubran neighborhoods like Philly. All the main cities in the US have their positives and negatives.
I am salivating over what Miami can become in the future right now. It has way more potential than people think and I think it will be the ultimate tandem to NYC. NYC-Miami will be like the big 1-2 punch (Wade/James) of the future. Chicago/SF/LA/DC/Philly/Boston will all follow behind as great alternatives.
There is absolutely no city in the U.S. IMO, that is as far away from its potential as Miami. Miami is city that has the athletic tools of a LeBron James, but the tools are being severly underutilized and not used to its best advantage. NYC is like Jordan or a prime Shaq.
lol... Ultimate tandem. I think that'll always belong to NYC and Chicago. It'll be a good while before Miami even thinks about catching up to Chicago let alone NYC.
You would have to be from the Philly/NJ/NYC region to understand.Not even the most ardent NYC resident would try to claim Princeton as part of NYC. Imo the whole Central Jersey area is an independent battle zone with a clear autonomy from both NYC and Philly.
NYC gets the benefits of areas it really has no business being rewarded with. Hunterdon ,Mercer,Warren, even Somerset Counties, the Poconos, Upstate CT. Very wealthy counties that just dont belong in metro NYC.
Bingo.
Yale is a New England school, and seen as such.
Princeton is closer to Philly, and in CNJ. Virtually no association with NYC other than some Federal definition.
Philadelphia is gross and not diverse.
95% of areas there are all white and 5% are all black.
New York is obviously the best because Queens is the most diverse place in the world and it has much more to do than little boring Philadelphia.
Here's my order
1. New York City
2. Los Angeles
3. Miami
4. Chicago
Can't even put on gross horrible Philadelphia
The guy from Queens is talking **** about Philly?
Hahahahahahahaha
