Does Miami-Dade get a lot of hate from the rest of FL? (Jacksonville: rent, living)

I am sure you would not like someone saying " Miami is the third world filled with s***s" Your characterization of Jacksonville as a bunch of crackers is off the mark. It is not a big as Miami are for sure but its hardly a small town, and most native whites have a southern accent. And Jacksonville is not in southern Georgia any more than Miami is in Cuba

The hood in Jacksonville is the most dangerous in the entire country, there's also a large number of radical and potentially dangerous crackers. They should annex the panhandle to Alabama, not to Georgia.

Tourists come to Miami from all the US, but they are scared stiff of you people, how come?

That's the real reason they hate on it

Yeah, probably. At one time I had the entire State of Florida as a sales territory, so I got to see all of it on a weekly basis.........from the Panhandle to the Keys. Miami is too Hispanic for my tastes, hardly anyone speaks English there any longer. If I wanted to live in South America, I would move there.

You could give me a free home in the whole Miami area and I wouldn't live in it. But that is just me.

How come people with money visit Miami and not Jacksonville or Macon?

[elchevere]

Because they have dentists in Miami

I prefer hanging around more successful people (Miami) and could give a rats ass if they are white, black, purple, brown, or blue...I'd rather hang out with a successful black or whatever person than some trailer park cracker on welfare.

YOU People... Funny!

And I am certain you have spend a lot of time in Jacksonville. I would venture you may have stopped for gas driving though Jacksonville at the most. You dont seem to know where Jacksonville is located, it is in Northern Florida but not the Panhandle

If someone visited Miami area for the first time their view would be very different depending on if you visited Overtown, Miami Shores, South Beach, Hialeah, Kendall or Homestead. Very different views of the same place. Like any other metro area

Please define "radical and potentially dangerous crackers" Since Jacksonville is filled with this type of person I want to know how to avoid them... Maybe I should move to Miami for my safety!

I am certain that you fancy yourself as tolerant and open-minded, your posts show you are not.

same reason people with money and international tourists visit New York City and not Buffalo, NY, or Buenos Aires and not Mendoza

Which is funny because I rarely need to speak Spanish here. Though I've recently discovered Pincrest bakery opening up on 15th and Alton, there are a lot of staff who don't speak English so I get to practice my Spanish.

No big deal, I considered myself cultured and cosmopolitan, hearing and practicing different languages to me is better than to be stuck hearing English by rednecks all day

It al depends, but the good thing about Broward is if you want the feel of Latin city, you drive 20 to 30 mins down the road and you've got it.....if u dont want it then dont go to Miami. Simple.

Funny thing, this is how Miami used to be. I lived in Miami for 25 years and as the years passed by Broward was appealing because of this. I remember my last few years in South FL, I didn't even go to Miami at all.

The ignorance is people getting mad at people that don't like an overly Latin culture on American soil. The entitlement is ridiculous.
