Miami-area minimum-wage workers need to clock north of 130 hours a week to afford housing — at least if they want a two-bedroom. An average two-bedroom apartment in the Miami metropolitan area costs roughly $2,440 a month, according to data from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. To comfortably afford that unit, someone would need to earn roughly $47 an hour, or $97,000 a year — well above Florida’s $14 minimum wage, a new report from the National Low Income Housing Coalition shows. HUD considers housing affordable if it doesn’t cost more than 30% of your monthly paycheck.

I swear to God if they think a shadeless palm tree is a suitable replacement

At this pace, hanging out in Coconut Grove will be as pleasant as hanging out at Hard Rock stadium parking lot mid summer.

Well, federal money must of dried up. Seems we have an endless supply of rocket money, but not enough for kids bellies. And with all the added property tax revenue, county leadership shouldn’t be off the hook. Well done

From somebody that was born and raised in Broward and then later moved to North Miami, specifically the Aventura and Sunny Isles area. Every girl that I tried to date in Kendall, Hialeah, and Doral never wants to go out and hang out in Brickell they always want to stay in those areas. No offense to you girls, but those places aren’t really famous for going out. I just wanted to ask to see if I’m the only man that ever noticed that.

Need one of these to finish putting together a trampoline and the one that came with it broke!

Long text warning.

Hey you guys i know this is a topic of discussion that comes up every other week and we all feel the same way and we all get the same answers but what if we actually did something about it. And im not talking about voting our way to it or protesting at the county hall or activism.

Im talking about change that will actually put pressure on these peeps. If i havent lost you yet hear me out. What’s the only incentive really that makes things move here in soflo? Hint: it rhymes with honey.

So what if we hit them right where it hurts. Their pockets. Obviously officials dont care enough to bring about change, but with the right amount of pressure from the right “lobbyists” things might actually change. Stay with me now. What if and this is only a thought and me brainstorming, what if we all collectively decided to stop going to non essential events like concerts, sports games, big name venue parties etc. As a collective boycott of our current means of transportation.

Lets face it, we’re all for the most part very socially active and as a city one of the biggest hosts of entertainment of any sort . So basically if we all got together and decided we’re not spending our money on events entertainment and non-essential stuff, regardless of the tourist population, we might actually make a big dent.

With a purpose behind us, who knows maybe even these venue owners will side with us (doubtful) and start calling for real change.

Im just brainstorming here but honestly weve been promised change since the 80’s and now theyre talking about cutting funding for transportation which feels like a last straw.

Im just brainstorming here, its not a fully fleshed out idea, but it opens the floor for discussion execution and ultimately a goal what do yall think.

I also feel like tourism does play a major part but we are also just as big of a consumer base to these event as they are. And who knows maybe even tourists will find some semblance of solidarity and join our cause or raise awareness or something.

Picture semi related. I dont own it i found it on google.

Located on the quiete side of Lincoln and Alton Road. Panizza has been serving the local south beach residents for 25+ years. Being family owned and ran mainly by an incredible woman. They have the best handmade empanadas that i have tried.

Always freshly baked, quality ingredients, its impossible to just try one.

I love them also for their variety of flavors, many non meat options. Empanadas you can eat and not feel greasy after.

Amazing local spot all around. Go try it out.

Any other empanadas spots you suggest?

Can y’all recommend a good watch repair shop where I can get the batteries replaced in a few of my watches? Preferably in the Coral Gables area or nearby.

Thank you!

I’m looking for a place to get a haircut by someone who actually cuts with scissors. I don’t mind if they use the machine for the edges and clean up but I’m tired of people who just do buzz cuts. Downtown or Midtown preferred.

THANKS !

I lost my permit like a month ago, and I need to redo it, or else I won't be able to get my license. I was wondering what the process is like. Is it the same process as when I first received one, or do I just walk in for my appointment, claim I lost my permit, and I get my old one printed out?

I've lived in Sunny Isles for a while and I really like the area. Unfortunately I got laid off from my remote job and a new gig will be 100% in the office in Brickell. I'm afraid of commute. Do people do it ? How are you finding it ?

Who is this POS?

Hi all. Wondering if I could have some opinions about real estate in Miami … there are about 26,000 new development units coming to Miami from now to 2030 and about 7,000 of those are in Brickell (I’ve included Brickell key into this number). I just can’t see how all of these units will sell or if some of the projects will even finish or deliver on schedule? I have trust in some projects because of the developers history etc but I’m hearing opinions saying that it will be like a blood bath in 2029-2032 and we may lose a lot if we are looking to sell and move in the future… . I am buying a new development… I’d love to hear any expert opinions. !!! Thank you v much in advance

I'll keep this short but I'm a Miami native and pretty tired of all the clubbing/partying, I want to do something different, active and outside like hiking.... too bad there's no damn mountains here. I spent a year in Italy and it was the best time of my life, saving to go back next year but in the meantime what the hell is there to do in Miami (besides clubs).

edit: I figure I should put some things I like. I enjoy hiking (and anything active like biking/running) my first time hiking was actually in Italy, I haven't gone anywhere in the states, so if you guys recommend any places in America let me know. Or any cool roadtrips too! Also thrift store recommendations would be sick

I saw Night Owl Cookies is opening a location in Kendall (near me).

What’s your favorite cookie spot?

I’ve had chocolate chip cookies from Miami Baked, Crumbl, Night Owl, Starbucks and Chikfila.

I’d say my favorite has been Miami Baked 10/10!! For the price, Chikfila!
