Witness the Rapid Transformation in Miami’s 5 Most Gentrified Neighborhoods
We explore the most gentrified neighborhoods in Miami. Some of these before and after photos via Google street view are astonishing.
Gentrification occurs when there is a substantial gap between the current value of a place, and its potential value. More capital is invested into the neighborhood and the type of people who live there change over time.
A positive aspect of gentrification is that neighborhoods become much more dense with improved infrastructure like bike lanes and public parks. Who doesn’t love a walkable city?
A negative aspect of gentrification is the potential displacement of current residents due to rising property taxes and house prices. Where is all the affordable housing?
I feel like most people just think of South Beach when they hear Miami. I know I had that perception before visiting back in 2019.
But it definitely has a lot more going on - there are over 25 different neighborhoods in Miami proper. all with their own distinct flavor.
Miami has been all over the news with several different corporations moving their headquarters to the city. But it’s always been a haven for “snowbirds” from the Northeast.
Gentrification has accelerated in Miami in large part thanks to Miami21.
This new form-based zoning code's purpose was to direct the city toward transit-oriented, pedestrian-friendly growth, and away from disjointed, car-centered development.

As more cyclists take to the streets, bike lane infrastructure is an important part of a city's transportation. They provide a safer way to travel for cyclists in cities.

These are things we cyclists have to think about. As mu...

The Case for Walkability (against the car)
Born raised in BK….amazing now there are bike lanes, more restaurants, the delis have larger variety of food….costs of everything, rent, food is crazy…when I visit one thing is same NO PARKING…
It's a great place to live, other than the constant rye muggings.
I was born in Frederick and grew up on North Market Street downtown. I miss this city!
A scooter is not a moped. A moped has an engine capacity of 50cc maximum
The UWS is such a great neighborhood.
I loved my time on 84th and West End Ave
I grew up in Schenectady when General Electric ruled the roost so to speak with up to 40,000 working there, including my dad and myself. It was the kingpin of the Tri Cities social life, day and night. 36,000 fewer employees at GE today, and they are trying to revive the city but the empty store fronts and high crime stats belie their message. Albany was and to a point, somewhat still is, run by the Democrat (O'Connell) machine. 'nuff said. Troy has RPI and a corrupt city (and county) government and never much of a social life. And no, you do NOT wander afoot at night. Outside of those city lines, the surrounding towns like Niskayuna, Clifton Park and Betlehem to just name a few are great
I like how cities look when they are developing better than when they are in decline..
I used to live in Cincinnati and lived in the building that has the downtown Kroger grocery store you highlighted. Will always be the most incredible apartment I have ever lived in (and I've lived in over 20 apartments/homes/etc. in many states and countries). It overlooked Over-the-Rhine and felt like you'd been transported to central Europe. The only problem is that Cincinnati is so loud at night. There are lots of wild people and cars blasting bass so loud it made stuff rattle in my 14th floor apartment. This is an issue in American cities broadly speaking. This whole country is too wild and too "free" in a bad way. Americans need to learn manners and until that, noise pollution will continue to plague urban folks.
Downtown Brooklyn and dumbo. Area is a zoo. Now. To many. Wanna be yuppies. And tourists And. On top of it. A few nycha projects around 😂😂😂😂😂
Gentrification is colorization under another name. Reparations and separation now.
Reparations and separation.
is Overtown gentrified? When i drove through a few years back it was an absolute disgusting blighted area.
Someone said it best, "New York City has been gentrifying for the last 400 plus years.."
I’m 52. I’m from Crown Heights, originally. My mom taught in Bed-Stuy in the ‘70s and early ‘80s. Those two neighborhoods. I never thought things could change the way they did.
Can you get around without a car in Albany? it looks like you can from your video, how safe is it walking around the areas you mentioned an in the park? especially at night? thank you for content
We've had that walkway along the waterfront since the 90s. I can remember when they were developing it. I no longer live there but I do miss it from time to time.
More housing means cheaper prices. 👍
Clifton-University-Fairview
The actual Clifton is much cooler than the "Clifton" that appears in this video.
I must comment that that target is indeed not “clutch” but rather “never stocked”
Nice video! I love it how you managed to make a video about a city without actually filming there, and it looks good :)
Cities evolve, people get screwed, oh well, whatever.
In other words, they moved out the non tax paying residents. They all moved to Southern Maryland and that is the new ghetto.
Not to forget Union college in Schenectady
Try Alexandria VA
DC has become one of the most expensive metro areas in which to live. I lived there for a decade in the pre-gentrified mid-70s to the starting-to-gentrify in the mid-80s and already people were upset about the rising rents. Anything West of Connecticut Avenue was going to be at least twice as expensive as its eastern counterparts. The places where I lived--DuPont Circle, Logan Circle, Mount Pleasant and Adams Morgan are now untouchable. I loved the city, but it's a financial sacrifice to live there.
You can get any type of food in Boston and the seafood is far better in Boston than Barcelona. If you want Spanish food Barcelona for sure but overall for variety yeah not close. Pizza is awful in Barcelona and Italian food as well
I have a love hate relationship with the new miami
I pay for my 125 cc scoter 30 EUR insurance per year (Aprillia sr gt) and for my car 1200 EUR per year. Each of them,
Upper West Side, also known as the Upper Left Side, the intellectual heart of NYC and, frankly, the USA. There's no place like home!
I live in New York-- it is super glamorous until you have to take the subway.... that's why I only have my driver take me in my Bentley.... I would never subway its dangerous after the Adams administration <3
do not visit riverside park.... we dont need more tourists... its locals only please.... you can stay in central park south please <3
I live in upper east side and my belongings are stored on the upper west side.... so.... please stay away <3 we only want luxury <3
411 West End Ave. was home for my childhood. the Natural History Museum a regular playground. Zebras the local market smaller than it is today. I totally agree with you. There are great hotels as well I always stay nthere when I go back.
It’s a great neighborhood. The park, plenty of restaurants, Broadway not far away, the Macy’s parade comes through there, it’s great.
A massive 100 mile largely road separated bike/ walking loop is being built in Cincy called crown. In addition to that, there is an ordinance enacted that require all repairs to roads to include the rules outlined in “complete streets” give it a look. I think Cincinnati will be a rising star in urban development and opportunity. I’m moving back next year, I miss it a lot.
Fredneck😂
Watching from the Netherlands, I wonder if one still sees evidence of the presence of the Dutch? After all, the Dutch established New Amsterdam in 1626, and it later became New York. Albany was known as Beverwijck. Until the mid-20th. century, many people still spoke a variation of Dutch throughout this area.
Hello from Albany! The Dutch stamp is very much still upon the area! When I was a child we spent a year on our state’s local history and a great deal of the time was spent on Dutch influence. Additionally many water bodies, towns and the occasional school mascot still have Dutch names.
@@eggdung Thank you for the response. Does one see much "Dutch" architecture?
@marcelmoulin3335 Not much remains from that time. The Dutch influence can be seen in place names (e.g. Rensselaer, “kill” often found in place names denoting a stream or creek). Family names still have a Dutch feel as well.
Are you going to do any more videos? I realized it's been a year since this was posted.
Cincinnati is held back by its complete lack of rapid transit, especially from the suburbs into the city
Have you done any research on locations that are specifically best for folks who are visually impaired? Thank you!
Never been, but hoping to go someday. Is central park crawling with homeless people? Seems like it would be.
City is growing but some peoples pay remain the same even with the increase in food, rent, gas and insurance prices
Warning warning warning. Walking anywhere in albany could get you killed or robbed or accosted by drug addicts. Please look at the crime statistic. We are in the top 10 lol, at least we got a score for something. If you are harmed you will get no help from police as they have been castrated by the Mayor,!!!!!!!!!!
Albany NY is ruled over by NYS government workers. Crime is high in this region. So government worker commute in and then immediately go back home. Why should i know? Im one of them and im literally sitting on my lunch break typing this out. There's some but not much to do in Albany and the surrounding areas. Meaning once you have done it all, you think that there is nothing to do and be bored. Clinton park halfmoon suburbs are the suburbs to be apparently and that's where i grew up and still live. Again not much to do, but plenty food restaurants and grocery stores. With Interstate 87 running in the middle, it's just a giant service area. For the most part, the area is affluent for two reasons....nys government workers and Saratoga race track. There's also global foundries in Malta that moved in a couple years ago.
I also forgot to mention that NY is a HIGH taxed state.
It's pronounced Ar Vad Uh -- the second A in Arvada rhymes with cat.
