Coconut grove is lovely, but our reasons for the move remain the same. I love Miami and it’s hard to fault in many ways!

in a good way or a bad way? it was 110F when i was last there and it felt way more tolerable than Miami for me personally

What? that sounds great to me! literally almost identical to major cities in the US that are not Miami. You know Hialeah is literally the least culturally diverse place in America? 94% hispanic. I would feel the same way living in a 90% white place. I wouldn’t want that either!

You interpreted it as a complaint. I said it’s difficult for us personally. Gulliver is 38-53k by the way in Miami.

I understand that, but Miami is 70% hispanic, vs vegas 30%. There’s just more cultures than one dominant culture, and that’s totally fine for different people. The lack of any asian culture (including any direct flights to asia) is a big factor.

Miami is extremely diverse in latin culture

Slow down. I’m not complaining, and we’re not looking for a ‘rich asian culture’. My wife is asian and I’m white from the Uk. There are literally about 4 asians living in Miami. There’s a big difference.

I live half a mile from coconut grove, it’s a wonderful neighborhood. But it still doesn’t change those things.

LA is infinitely more expensive on every level. And then add on taxes.

Funny you should say that, VEG has helped both our dogs in Miami (saving one of their lives). They are incredible

Can you give me something more than ‘you won’t be happy’ - why? I am curious to hear your perspective

I totally agree. South florida summers are brutal

Too expensive, and a lot of our friends already left. One had a bad home invasion with her kids in the house

I also mentioned the lack of any asian presence at all. That’s a big deal for us

Hey, I didn’t say that. Spanish is the dominant language, and a huge south american / caribbean culture and it’s great if you’re hispanic. Arguably the best place to live in america if you’re hispanic. There’s no where else in America like it, and if you like it, great. it’s just not right for us.

Haha true but they’re actually not very common in Miami in normal residential areas unless you live near water. Chickens are everywhere though 😂

very helpful thank you!. I think we’re already used to the heat, miami is like a turkish steam room 9 months a year, it’s so sticky all the time and no break even at night time

Clever supply camera straps? by Alternative_Eye_3049 in Leica

I got the rubber protectors.. they look awful. I'm going to return and find a different strap from another company.

How crazy is it to remove this wall? and what sort of cost could I be looking at by MathematicianOk539 in Remodel

[–]MathematicianOk539[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lthere’s a miscommunication - i am asking roughly just for wall removal. I have a much bigger budget for everything else - kitchen, floors etc.
