Interesting how most of the "ridge rats" that are defending the area only have 1 or 2 posts. You can also tell who they are by their poor grammar skills.

Again, your best buffer from the ghetto is large lots and many trees. You never see the neighborhoods on 1+ acre lots falling into ghetto status. Just go a bit west and you see the ghetto disappear into the "redland" and related places. The newer developments where they cram people on overpriced land to turn a profit will all be tomorrow's slums. Meanwhile spacious palmetto and pinecrest remain expensive. There is a pocket of decent homes even in the worst part of Perrine that remain desirable because of those big lots. Only when they demolish the homes to fill up with low-end condos does the area go down the toilet.

That is very true and the main reason why I don't see myself living in one of those zero lot cookie cutter neighborhoods.

Actually, It's a combination of a lot of racial tension in South Dade in the past and Hurricane Andrew. The poor stayed, the middle class just left.
The poors?

Politically correctness: Today the system call "poor" to the criminals...

Today there is not business to purchase a house.
When an area turn bad (groids and gangs) your house lost value and and is difficult to sell that house.
I will never purchase a house in this country. I prefer to live under a bridge without the tension of a responsibility of a big loan and in a bad area.

The only areas that will never get bad are the jewish areas because the system protect them because they are the system, the elite.

That statement is not exactly correct. Westchester, Kendale Lakes and the area around 163rd in North Miami were all predominantly Jewish but not anymore. The areas all declined, 163 the worst and Kendale Lakes the least.

Again, lot size and proximity to large bodies of water are the biggest predictors of a desireable area. Think of places like Miami Shores that are surrounded by the ghetto, and yet remain more upscale. The same can be said of cutler ridge and the old cutler road area.

Also many Jews are poor, just think of Miami Beach in the 1970's with South Beach being full of dirt poor Jews.
