I have seen them in different parts of Miami. Not that often though.

[quote=WINTERFRONT;18257256]Not particular for Miami, but here it goes:

-- No theater showcasing only international movies

What happened to the Movie Theater in Alhambra, Coral Gables?
I used to go there every Saturday, the owner was Nat Chediak (Miami Film Festival).
Mostly European films, cult movies, etc.
Also Cinema-Take, around that area.

The 2010 census indicates that the population of non-Hispanic white folks in Broward have decreased by 200,000 people and the Hispanic population has increased by 166,000. ***MOD CUT***

Pffft, don't worry, Broward will never be like Miami. Miami has history, cutural and international impact,it's more fashionable and not to mention world renowned... In terms of urbanity we surpass any county in the whole south... in other words, it has an identity as compared to Broward, which is just any other county in Florida ... you are thinking too much of broward.

From a European who has lived all over the US, let's cut all the bulls%&t once for all.

Rude people: Have you ever been to Paris? Or NY? I actually find Latin Americans to be much nicer on average than the average WASPs found in places like Texas. (Hint, it took me 2 months to learn Spanish enough to have conversations, why are WASPs so miserable in South Florida not to learn Spanish?). Also, I find the saying "hello" on the street and holding doors in the South to be super fake when you don't even know the person. Matter of fact, it's much harder to make "real" friendships in most WASPs places in my opinion. In places like Texas you'll have an hour conversation with a apparently nice person who will hardly say hi to you the day after. It happens all the time. This does not happen in Latin culture.

Lack of Diversity: Really? The only missing part in South Florida is the Asian community. Other than that it has Latins, Jews, Whites, Europeans, etc. It's more diverse than most other cities in the country except NY and LA and for sure any city in Europe except London.

Crime: Try living in San Francisco with people shooting up heroin on your door step. I am talking Union Square area where rent is $2,000+/month for a one bedroom. Try LA, Houston, NY (outside of Manhattan), etc.

Drug problems: Not unique to Miami. Common issue with every big city in the US. Again, try San Francisco where people smoke pot freely on the street.

Boring? Sure, must be why it's the second most visited city for international tourism in the country after NYC. http://tinet.ita.doc.gov/outreachpag...and_Cities.pdf

Distances too far? It's one of the most dense county in the US. Definitely the densest in the South. Try Houston or L.A.

Traffic? I actually like it. It's one of the few places in the US, where people don't sleep at the wheel. Try Italy for rude drivers and then we'll talk.

^ quite a interesting perspective but truthfull nonetheless!
