It is like what happened to Miami.



You boys just are not fans of darker skinned people.


It is not skin color, it is their chosen occupation. When Miami was
the home to Cubans who came here to raise families and build
businesses, it was Ok. When it became cocaine cowboys (at least half
of who were white), shooting up the streets with automatic weapons
fire, bribing politicians and warping the whole economy, the place
became a **** hole. I know a lot of Cubans who moved to this coast
because it was too much for them.
The other problem, shared with the whole east coast south of Jupiter
is just the congestion. Traffic over there is a nightmare. It is
basically a southern version of the DC to Boston metroplex.
Before you tell me some story, my office was in Ft Lauderdale and
before that Miami. I also did inspections there after I left IBM. My
kids lived there for many years. I have spent a lot more time there
than you, not just sleeping in someone's guess room and going out to
dinner somewhere. I was working and driving around.
I will admit, I avoided it as much as I could but it could not be
avoided nearly often enough.
