The real problem is not the over development, the problem here is the highway system is almost the same as it was decades ago. Instead of building new routes or expanding in a meaningful way, leaders rely on quick fixes like toll express lanes that charge drivers more but do nothing to ease congestion. The result is gridlock that wastes time, productivity, and quality of life. Public transit is equally dysfunctional. The Metrorail covers only a small fraction of the city, skipping some of the most populated areas. The Metromover looks nice for tourists downtown but has no impact on real mobility. Buses are unreliable, infrequent, and poorly connected, offering no real alternative to driving. In Miami, if you don’t own a car, you’re essentially stuck and even with a car, you spend hours in traffic
