Miami and the rest of South Florida wants palm tree diversity.
Key West has great palm diversity (better than Miami's no question), and can still pull it off on every block.
Miami only seem to have either royal palms on block, sabal palms or christmas palms in residential homes. Every now and then you'll see some date palms and coconut palms, but only on highways, or urban areas. Rarely any coconut palms or date palms in the residential suburban areas
Key West has areca palms, coconut palms, royal palms, christmas palms, date palms, triangle palms, lipstick palms, hibiscus, etc... The diversity is unbelievable.

yea he made a error he just showed a area thats obviously being developed lol.
Both areas have/will have similar demographics.
The area being developed was a former housing project and when it deteriorated, crime seeped into the surrounding neighborhoods. The new development is meant to replace some of the units that were demolished from the old projects. Although DHC says that don't don't expect former residents to return, the feds require that a certain amount of the housing be built for low-income and/or public-assisted residents (basically, really affordable housing) and that the housing can't have residents that make over a certain amount.
It's not meant to improve the area but it's meant to provide housing. So in essence, it's no different than the next street over other than it being government fixed rent and newer construction. Basically like any other housing project BUT with just enough appeal to be marketed as a suburban style development so that people with moderate incomes would move in.
It's pretty much gray area (being a mixed-income neighborhood) but it's not quite gentrification. If you consider the whole area a ghetto and the new development as only an addition to it (rather than an enhancement), doesn't that still leave it sort of ghetto...ish?
