YES! Us long term Miami born are fed up with the Fed's funny money bidding up this massive bubble. They need people running away from big cities to tolerate the tropical NYC the money changers want to build.
The first time I went to Wynwood was in 2018. I was just in Wynwood last month and I didn’t even recognize it. It felt like I was walking thru the Melrose District in LA. Felt extremely posh! Wynwood Walls charging $12 now also felt like a scam. It was free before and it didn’t look like it changed much!
This happens when they allow investors to determine what happens to the housing market. Now everything is out of reach even for the residents who have lived here their whole lives.
Unfortunately, this is a trend not just in Miami. This is happening in suburbs of SoFlo like in Pembroke Pines where my friends and family have been living in for decades. With development and commercial property, a city can lose its soul through a lack of authenticity. It is mostly recent local government to blame.
@@hppavilionf50 most of Miami is poor. Highend Miami is very, very small. And if that was even true, why are landlords dropping rents in places like Brickell? Miami is failing bud. Theres no jobs and crime is getting worse. Most of the suburbs suck too
Let’s be honest wynwood been lost its soul when it first started gentrifying, now the gentrifiers can’t afford the rent. My honest opinion all of Miami going to need a correction soon.
@@Zeusgodofthunder Gentrified doesn’t mean safer you 💩 take SF, LA, Manhattan🙄. If it was safer then folks wouldn’t be getting their expensive luxury vehicles stolen by Cuban mafia rings.🤡
All the restaurants and cafes, hangouts will continue to go out of business unless the property management of all the rental buildings wake the f up and corrects rent, because as it stands, rent in Miami/Midtown Wynwood/ North Miami Beach is 30% inflated over a fair price for what is happening in the market job wise and industry wise. Downtown is absolutely disgusting and filthy everywhere you walk with probably 70% of all businesses gone because nobody spends on going out and supporting local businesses when they are struggling to keep up with the 30% overpriced rent. Eventually the drug boys get caught and the foreign financial crooks and launderers move on, and what you are left with are middle class hard working people that want to live there because that is a place they love and wish to contribute to, except the system is so broke that everyone local who bleeds and works for just a taste of the good life is left with nothing to support a life worth living. Factor in all the remote tech jobs being cut, or salaries for remote folks being reduced by 20% or more, and you have alot of people worried to spend that extra dollar locally cause it can make or break them.
@@eddieneyman4035 Francis Suarez is 100% responsible for any city of Miami problems. That m-fer is allowed to be as corrupt as he wants and gets away with it with no repercussions or blow back.

Here's the conversation that no one wants to have. Wynwood simply isn't cool anymore. Beyond the gentrification, the cool kids don't hang out there. Now, who are the cool kids? They are NOT the pretentious douchebags who went to faux-elite, private colleges in the northeast and now wear Essentials all white t-shirts, skinny jeans, low-top, all-white sneakers and worship Fred Again. Those kids are are devoid of any taste or finesse. We kept those kids relegated to the beach and Space. The real trendsetters of Miami are an assorted group of working class Latin and Caribbean individuals who are the city's true cultural leaders. They're the ones that decide what's hot, in which America at-large blindly follows 5 years later. They are the ones that made Wynwood a household name. Miami gave up those kids. Instead, the developers, city council, and established institutions at large allowed non-locals to come to Miami and dominate without respecting nor contributing to the culture. Meanwhile, those individuals are only in Miami because they can't make it in NY, LA and Chicago, where half of them are living off of credit and will quickly leave for the next short-lived trend. The primary purpose of Wynwood was to be an anti-South Beach, bohemian haven that celebrated the city's true tastemakers. Back in the early 2010's, the area resembled something of Soho, which combined the area's socioeconomic and racial classes that then created an eclectic mix of flair and artistry. Now, the area just looks like any new, cookie-cutter development that can be found in Tampa, or worse Orlando. Once the original Wood closed its doors and new bars started charging covers, the area died. Miami now looks like Nashville, which is solely a debaucherous carnival deprived of all sophistication and style. Miami now has people walking around in flip flops and cargo shorts celebrating St. Patrick's Day in green face paint. That was never our holiday. I am just so appalled and flabbergasted! Also, this is an issue beyond Wynwood. Once you pull back the veneer of newness, you'll realize that Brickell is lame. Downtown is lame. The beach is now lame. As a consequence, I foresee an upcoming economic catastrophe within the city. Overall, magic city has lost its magic.
Assuming those new buildings get occupied why wouldn't those restaurants make money? Would those tenants drive miles away to another neighborhood to eat at a restaurant rather than walk across the street or around the corner for a meal?
As someone who used to be in Wynwood every week it's just awful. Most hate it now and most condos in Miami are bought as an investment NOT a place to live so it's affecting money.
I personally think the guy they interviewed was being a doomer, post 2020 i imagine was a boom for maimi so naturally there was or will be a correction
@@thedirtybubble9613 it was only wood tavern and a corner store in Wynwood back then. The artist community didn’t come over around 2011. Then they tried to do the same thing to downtown but it failed. But art in many other places started booming (Hialeah, Fort Lauderdale, lil Haiti, Hollywood. )
@@MissinginMiamiNonsense. I remember the artist community coming to Wynwood circa 2006-2007. That's when the cool graffiti started popping up and then by 2010 it was fully engulfed in gentrification and yuppies starting to move in. Places like Downtown, Brickell, Edgewater, etc. started to go up with condos in the mid 2000s and then everything started to fall like dominos after that. The gentrification that we see today all started in the mid 2000s when then mayor Manny Diaz "envisioned" a different Miami with more millionaires and less poor people. That was his plan all along and it worked.
This is all so funny how people are pointing fingers at who's causing pricing increases, but reality is the point should also go to the persons selling their property at such price gouging rates not just the dummy buying it for those prices. The Local Government and the State don't care they just see revenues. Wynwood is upset because of all the high rise development, remember people sold these properties at what price? The developers build these and sell these at what price. Local Governments and State are the ones permitting it and could careless it's revenues, they don't care about congestion, they don't care about the small business, they just care about their revenues. The hire the price the more taxes collected. Hence most of the buildings going up are multi story, property taxes will sky rocket no matter what. They would prefer to do away with single modest family home and small businesses who offer very little in revenue. Beats the modest raises with large pay increases.
Very problematic to see how aggressive development doesn’t take into consideration the culture of place and the need for stepped development. With a lack of Comprehensive planning on how to infuse new with old, and how the city can grow at a health pace which preserves businesses and residents alike from the pressures of gentrification, Miami has lost elements of its soul for an immediate profit and notoriety. I’m hoping with news articles, community conversations, city council public participation, and news segments shedding light on the lack of understanding that development alone doesn’t create an authentic place; non-aggressive Development, a phased level of development can allow Wynwood to maintain some vestige of its 2000’s renaissance, and its local residents instead of becoming an area of town only known for benign buildings for tourist and high-end newcomers, indistinguishable from one another.
The same thing is happening Ft. Lauderdale's Fat Village area'. Its taking away the scenery of the area with residential buildings blocking views and blocking pathways tha were good for exploring and monthly events
And why you think people aren’t spending on restaurants these days?! Two reasons inflation and real estate/ rental cost. You make the landlords and realtors lower rents and home prices you will have people spending again otherwise this problem will continue to happen
everyone complaining about "this is isnt wynwood anymore!" are you talking about the dangerous and ghetto place that it was and that almost nobody felt safe walking around after a certain time? or the rampant homelessness that ruined wynwood? or the little walkabitlity and housing options? i swear people will complain about everything
This is the same as what happens to every other cool neighborhood in any major city around the country. Wynwood is now just another Williamsburg Brooklyn now...or well on it's way there. Unfortunately places never stay cool forever. It's a bummer but it is how gentrification works.
What it used to be?!?! Losing its "soul"... ??! They must not be from miami clearly. this is a gentrified neighborhood. Lucky it even got this far after all the locals who lost their property so people can ride bikes and build overpriced restaurants.
How shocking can you take away the community aspect and communal areas and replace it with high-rise overpriced apartment buildings and it lost its soul
i Cant believe its been 10 years since i was out there but when i lived there , coming from NY i knew it was being gentrified but i couldnt imagine it would go down the drain so fast.. I think that area catered too much to Tourists and not the emerging community enough plus it was like 5 mins to the heat stadium but a few blocks from one of the most drug ravaged neighborhoods in the US.. the pandemic had to be the nail in the coffin as ppl are going to naturally go where they can afford and hopefully find the conveniences that where missed in Wynwood
Everybody keep blaming New York and California people I blame my Governor Ron DeSantis for leaving Florida open during the pandemic all the states that was close guess who came to Florida. Born and raised in Wynwood yall need to visit the real Wynwood old school Wynwood 🇵🇷
Miami has become another NYC slime spit bucket, pure concrete crap, and artificial looking landscaping. Greed will continue to destroy the middle class, this is the perfect example of greed destruction, I 'm glad as well as my family, that we don't live in the slime city, and won't ever again.
