If you are moving to Miami, one thing you need to know is that Miami is paradise! The sun, turquoise ocean, Cuban food, eclectic restaurant scene, and don’t even get me started about the yacht parties! We also have a great deal of humidity, high cost of living, flooding, and occasional hurricanes. Besides hurricanes and humidity, Miami is the perfect place to call home.

Miami is very expensive and real estate is very overpriced. The population is more than two-thirds Latino and most of them speak Spanish and refuse to English. Crime rates are very high. Hurricanes are an annual problem and health care is extremely expensive.

Someone that is moving to my city should definitely consider the storms and the flooding. In the south area of Florida, there are quite a few storms and depending on the area that you live the flood risk can be great. Another thing that should be considered is the expenses. Florida, especially Miami, is not a cheap place to live.

Miami has green parrots, Banyan trees, and iguanas. Miami is a place of celebration and life, but Miami is dying. Everything that is unique and special to Miami is being held hostage by the threat of climate change and sea rise. The coral reefs, the city’s first defense against hurricanes and tropical storms, are boiling. Streets filled with music and dancing are now flooded. Miami is still an epicenter of biodiversity and life.

Miami has the best beaches for friends and families. Miami can be an expensive place. Do not move to Miami if you’re not prepared for hurricane season. Miami has a lot of amazing site seeing, museums and restaurants you will enjoy. If you don’t like the cold and want a summer year-round, then Miami is the perfect place for you.
