That article is an advertorial. There are parts of Miami that have always looked like the pictures in the article. However, those are the parts of Miami that usually only well off tourists see. For most working class people living in Miami, life is nothing at all like that.

This is like counting your chickens before they hatch.
I will believe it when it is real and tangible.

"After hitting on a brilliant new life plan, our first instinct is to tell someone, but Derek Sivers says it's better to keep goals secret. He presents research stretching as far back as the 1920s to show why people who talk about their ambitions may be less likely to achieve them."

Note that it's from the travel section, so of course that's who it's aimed at.

The amusing thing is that many newspaper travel writers dont even visit the destinations they write about anymore. Their companies tell them to do their research on the internet and look up facts and other people's experiences and assemble something. There was a very entertaining article in canoe and kayak magazine where a woman wrote about a trip to alaska and then a group of people paid her to set it up and come along and it turned out to be a nightmare of a disaster because she had no idea what she was doing.
