I used to live in South Beach (pursuing the modeling dream ).
You don't want to be broke over there. Vegas is a better choice.

shit, given that you went the same path i'm going on, i think i might take serious consideration back into vegas

Wow. That's a long way back to go for a joke. And it's 'Tallahatchie.'

Nice catch chimps you have been on a roll today.

Be like Nike and just do it.

You've got nothin' to loose.

Be like Sal and Dean.

If it sucks, so what?
You move somewhere else with even more stories and memories.
Live, breath, and feel--the world.

people are adaptable.
If you're not making it in that scene outright, you'll figure it out eventually.

Dude, didn't you live in Japan?

Lived in Miami this past summer. Was in Doral for a while (past the airport) then moved to SoBE - Lincoln and Collins, in a high rise right on the beach. The fun there never stops - 24/7. It gets a little relentless after a while.

Doral is good for families. Singles want to live in South Beach or Brickell (down town). Maybe in Coral Gables. Most of the rentals are condos (not too many apartment buildings) and it takes 2-3 week to move in because you have to be approved by the condo board - it like a 5-10 page application with lots of references required. Also need 4 months rent up front (first, last, security, and another months rent for the condo security deposit). Better hope your rental doesn't go into forclosure. A lot of the buildings I looked at were basically empty because of all the forclosures, especially in Brickell. Rentals go for $1800-2000 a month for 700-800 square foot 1 bedroom. Not very cheap.

The traffic is terrible. Bumper to bumber all the time, crazy South American drivers make their own rules. Has the most expensive car insurance in the USA as a result. No parking places open any where and you have to pay to park every where. This was in the summer -off season. Gotta be worse in the winter.

Way too hot in the summer, its brutal.

That being said, Miami has the hottest women in the Country by far. I used to think NYC had good looking women. Does not even compare to Miami. Every where you look. And friendly. The beach is like a fantasy land.

Thanks for the info,for sure this place has its price,
