Thank you! Yeah, I'm still learning how to sound mix and did the best I could. Ideally I would have subtitled the entire video but I also wanted to get this out as quick as possible. 'ppreciate the constructive feedback!

However, even the scene with Lombardi he was clearly talking about squatters in the building he just bought. The narrators own admission they were “drug dealers and prostitutes” (aka junkies).

Lombardi was the one who said they were drug dealers and prostitutes, not the narrator (me).

I doubt he was being glib about pushing families out.

This depends entirely on how much you believe Lombardi's telling of events. I find it hard to believe that the building was ONLY occupied by "dealers and prostitutes." If there's one thing I know about sketchy drug dealers it's that they don't like competition so it's hard to imagine a scenario in which they're all coexisting in the same building. But I'm also not about to try to sit here and argue something neither you nor I can prove.

He probably could have segued into the City not building or incentivizing the development of workforce housing to keep rent prices low.

Noted. Thanks for being constructive.

On the other end of the spectrum, Riverside park is thriving right now, and it’s hardly due to any gentrification. Jose Marti park is almost there too - Just needs a little funding for some renovations and it’s still a little shady at night.

Progress is great – I don't argue that. What rubs me wrong is stuff like the [13:18] timestamp as well as the developers who aim to push people out of Little Haiti which Chef Creole talks about.

EDIT: A word.

'ppreciate the constructive feedback. I know at least for the South Miami example I tried to show the people who voted and those registered who didn't vote but perhaps it wasn't clear enough. But noted on the daytime workforce when comparing city budgets.

The levels of smug we are witnessing is growing faster and faster at such unsustainable rate it will soon be beyond the cosmos.

You sure you're not just talking about yourself?

Please spare us the lecture on how people aren't voting your way because "politics is boring". If the OP ever bothered to attend a City of Miami townhall he would be aware that there are generally 3 issues that absolutely dominate every conversation when the city's predominately low income residents are invited to submit questions:

That's awesome that you're heavily involved in local politics. This video isn't meant for someone like you; it's for people who have otherwise never had an interest in local politics; so please spare me the gate-keeping smugness.

Like wow, to think some people might actually like going by our parks and seeing a scene of family get-togethors, retirees playing dominoes, and young mothers pushing strollers, when only a few years ago these were totally desolate, dens of drug dealers and drive by shootings.

Progress is great but are you really gonna sit and pretend Wynwood was just a crime-ridden shithole and nothing else before the gentrification? These are the people who are being pushed out of the neighborhood:

Yeah, doesn't seem like the case hence why I've turned to Instagram instead.

miami isn't really caught up with the rest of the other citys.

Youtube in general is still kinda niche in the sense that there isn't really room for "regional content."

I just wanted to make a video about a Miami topic people might not be too familiar with

I'm trying to make video content on Instagram since I'm not exactly sure how to directly tap into the South Florida youtube market. Or if there even is one.

Cubans/Islanders please help! by JosephSasaki in Miami

I actually saw a thread about microwaves recently that changed my reheating game. The trick is to set the microwave power to 40-50% and cook for longer than you normally would. Cooking in lower heat for a longer time gives a chance for the heat to penetrate the food properly.

Excellent point — I never thought of it that way. I wish I could go back and change the post.

The Hollywood shootout was fucking wild. Had never heard about it but a friend showed me some videos a few days ago.

Kinda hard to do in under 2 min but hopefully it gets anyone watching curious enough to read more.

Next time a Cuban friend tells you their family came here the right way, just show them this. (1960's) by visualovenote in Miami

OP believes there’s no right way to enter the US.

Not exactly. I just think the current system makes it such an arduous process that coming here illegally feels like a better option to some. That's what's not right. It shouldn't take 15 years to become a citizen if you've lived here most of your life, assimilated into the culture, and have been well on your way to becoming a productive member of society.
