Are the bar graphs broken? They don't seem to match the votes / percentages.
This may have something to do with the "other" option being added a bit after the poll started. Since it didn't start receiving votes until about 20 or so had already been cast the system may not be properly updating.
I'll speak for Miami. As one of the most constricted (land) MSAs, its growth of ~2M has had a tremendous amount of infill and tower construction. I don't have the actual data but it seems like the majority of the tallest in the city's skyline is post 1990, and the extension of the skyline up through Midtown/Edgewater seems like just a post 2000 phenomenon. Additionally, the transformation in wealth east of I-95 has been astonishing. Dangerous neighborhoods have become trendy, chic, and the home of luxury brand shopping. Poor neighborhoods have been gentrified, while middle income waterfront communities have become wealthy. Well to do islands in Biscayne Bay have become havens of the billionaire class. For example, I remember when you could pick up a "modest" waterfront home on the Venetian Islands for $750,000 in the early 2000s. Today those houses can command a price of $10M+ as a teardown.

Not to mention it shed its sleepy, seasonal, retiree label to become a fashionable (thank you late Gianni Versace) year round destination with top tier nightlife (which it has also exported abroad) along with developing a respectable domestic and international financial hub (Hedge funds Citadel, Millennium, Elliott Management, CI Financial, Icahn Enterprises, Balyasny Asset Management—no longer just money laundering).
