I've been living in Miami for about 8 years. I love Miami :) but,

Miami is great but the city overall still depends on the car culture.

Population Density + Car Culture is never good.

The moment people are too lazy that they have to drive one block to get groceries; now thats a problem.

Yea, the Brickell is great and all but I would never live there unless I worked there.

The area has allowed other areas to stay "ethnic" with the expense of poor planning, for me getting in and out of Brickell is a odyssey and I only live 2 miles away.

I can't image what it is for someone who commutes there every day.

Miami lacks the public transportation other cities have developed.

Unless the public transportations keeps up, Miami will just be a vacation home for the rich not the "hub of the Americas" as it is always dubbed.
