- Опубліковано 18 бер 2020
- "Miami is often seen as ground zero for the impacts of climate change in the U.S., but the fallout goes well beyond flooded streets. As real estate developers head to higher ground, rising rents in low-income communities there are threatening to push vulnerable residents out of their homes. In this episode of CBS Reports' REVERB series, Adam Yamaguchi explores climate gentrification in Miami.

I don't live in Miami but I have visited many times. I loved walking through, eating in restaurants, shopping in the small shops located in the beautiful communities of Little Haiti and Little Havana. So, I screamed when that idiot developer said they were "revitalizing the area." Those areas are already a full of vitality. The only thing new coming to that area are wealthy people, over priced restaurants and unaffordable housing.
Same in South Carolina
100% correct
Thts right..... They will ruin the vibe.... 🤦👁️🤦
This definitely is one of those sad things that can happen in a capitalist economy but they can still develop more humanely and stop lying about their truth and just tell the people straight up what they’re doing. Maybe they will truly revitalize the area and include the people currently living there if they are more honest.
Yes
So the poor workers live on the high ground and the rich want it now.
Also, poor do not own the land, therefore they don't have a say.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Any time you rent, you do so with the understanding that there is a possibility that new owners(or even current owners) may want to do something different with that property next year. Rental contracts usually only last one year.
Losers though huh? Like the rich guy who has all the money in the world and still is unhappy? You sound like the fools the bible speaks of. Proverbs 22:16 Whoever oppresses the poor for his own increase and whoever gives to the rich, both come to poverty. They may not be rich, but they are most certainly not losers. Only a real loser would make such an uneducated comparison
My feelings exactly. You never know when it may be you that need assistance. The poor are not losers...
@Not Shown back in tribal days the tribesmen took TROUBLEMAKERS hunting and SOMETIME there would be ACCIDENTS...DEADLY ACCIDENTS.
“Our misssion is to bring people in”
Really? Aren’t there already people there?
Right, not those people 🙄
Greed
Precisely. Hard to watch.
@@Zizzyyzz Very hard to watch and I almost changed the video listening to the rich developer lie through his teeth. Not one truthful word came out of his mouth. The rich and powerful will always have their ways and means to control, enslave, and move the poor wherever they want to. So very sad to watch how they do it but it's been happening for generations. With climate change on the horizon, developers have been planning these types of situations for years and it will only get worse along sea level coast lines.
@@semperfi6801 Agreed.
I’m from Miami… it’s for the better. Supple & demand. Miami is becoming the next Manhattan. Look up the history of NYC (or any major city), this is how it works. Prices go up as demand goes up with limited space.
Lol. The hipsters will save the day.
Screwing over the poor and working class one ‘sustainable art installation’ at a time. It’s magic!
You can tell the architect/developer talking about little Haiti is fibbing. Even he doesn't believe what he's saying.
I love how they kicked the ppl out and then put some flamigos and pictures to "keep the spirit of the community".
lol his body language spoke volumes!!!
For sure... I was waiting for him to say synergy transform into a mission statement and fly away
He clearly doesn't give a damn, he's going to make a fortune selling flood-secure luxury apartments to rich people who still want to live in Florida despite the risks. Of course the company will be far far away when the next hurricane hits or the flood barricades prove too low...
As opposed to whom? Poor people that want to stay despite the dangers and the fact they can’t afford to live there? Rent goes up everywhere..not just little Haiti
After the collapse of Surfside, Miami beach real estate is worth zero. This is about to get worse for these people.
And quickly!!!!!
Yeah the whole state is at water level and Climate change is melting the glaciers.
yeah I know they need rent control, but they live in a red state.

you may get you wish, the sea is rising to meet you there
Good. you probly couldn't afford it
@abou the king haha, nope, not even close. My house is actually paid off. I made my own luck ;)
i rent airBnB that is by the sea, or oceanview most of the time... it gets a lil tiring after few days and i just want to go back to my dry land home
Why you believe alot of bs you hear dont ya? Ill tell ya what my family has lived directly on the water same house for almost 40 years now and water hasnt risen at all.

Interesting that this was in my feed, so I took the bait. Who's here after the Surfside condo collapse?
I saw this because of little Haiti, but i did see the collapse and wonder how far they are apart

Not the %$#@& people that lived in that condo!
Get some self respect for CHRIST SAKE!
PEOPLE DIED and you talk about your *&^%$# FEED? Disgusting!
@@randymillhouse791 dude what's your problem? Whatever it is I didn't do it. I made an observation and asked a question that in no way was disrespectful to the poor people that perished in that condo disaster. If you didn't particularly care for my question, then you should have kept it moving.
So, what DID you mean by "took the bait"?
This trend of driving out for people is going on Nationwide not just in Miami
Great documentary. Adam Yamaguchi is awesome, would love to see more docs featuring him.
I wouldn't kick him out of bed for eating crackers. But he is also good at his job. LOL
He’s a zaddy
Hmmmhmmm you and me both. 😋
Great documentary and I'm not trying to take anything away from it. But dude is built, I'm tryna get like him what a bada**
sounds like a process to get rid of this community a 1 2 3 step.
yup
Born in raised in South Miami left in ‘08 never cared to return greed, corruption, poverty and sinkholes to say the least. Get out while you can.
It should be illegal. I was priced out of Seattle so I moved to Portland. Now I'm moving out of state because I've been priced out of here. I work hard as does everyone I know but we can't keep up. The cost of living is rising much faster than wages. I feel like I struggled to pay my way through college for nothing.
Same here in Boston
Keep voting left
Sounds like you should have bought instead of rented.
@@nicholasmehler9662 you do know that the left is the one increasing the wages right?
Truth be told that's how the white man wants to keep it
Such an incredible documentary. You should definately go back in 5 years to compare what has been said by these large corporations versus what they have done. My heart broke for the woman facing eviction. Thats somebody's mother, grandma, sister and/or cousin. Truthfully im not buying what these big wigs are selling. What does it matter what the land is worth when people have been settled there for generations. Sure if you want to increase the rent, increase it with the community in mind. Not the rich who your trying to make room for. Its the heartlessness and greed of it all for me 😔
You can't stop progress unfortunately. I feel for these people, but as a society, change comes whether you want it or not. Money drives all our lives as much as we try to bury our heads in the sand. The rich will get what they want.
It doesn’t matter that she’s somebody’s mother, grandma, sister or cousin. What matters is that she’s somebody. And that’s the only thing that should matter.
@@israelitetingz2954 Profound. 👏🏾
Living in Miami my entire life I tell you watching the gentrification has been heartbreaking....The midtown area was LITERALLY THE HOOD now it's art boutiques and fair trade coffee...
Which is more economical for this city...hood or art boutiques?
I don't get why people are so opposed to progress and improvement. Gentrification is all about that. Improving the area is something that benefits everyone and results in greater quality of live. Just because someone rents a place does not give them or their descendents any inherent right to remain in the area indefinitely.
@@ybergik you are so ignorant!
You forgot to mention wynwood too lmao tourism think they’re in a safe place
Sounds like they're improving it.
This is why I will never come to Florida again.
Good, Florida doesn’t want to see your arse again .
Yea, Florida going to miss u so much.
@@phu0cdatb1ch good one 😂
She probably from California lol pussie
They really should stop building high rise buildings on the seafront. It's not safe.
Im pretty sure lenders have clearly seen the writing on the wall.
Poor people and their homes are always expendable, no matter what city they live in.
It's pretty bad when one can't afford a DAMN dump.
A year ago and look what happened in Surfside. Crazy.
"Our mission is to bring people in, and for us to be a source of pride within the community, and to really celebrate Little Haiti", says the out-of-town millionaire real estate developer wearing an $80 designer t-shirt.
I lived at the eastern end of the 79th street bridge on Miami Beach back in 1987 and let me tell you, every full moon tide the parking lot of our apartment building became flooded. With the flood waters came sewage floating in the parking lot of our apartment building. You had no choice but to wade through it to get to your home. My firstvfloor apartment got flooded 3 times in one summer so I moved inland, but even that wasn't safe from flood waters. We lived along the El Portel canal which was direct access to the intercoastal waterway. Hurricane Andrew flooded my home and removed the roof. At that point I decided to move back to the west coast of Florida. What a mistake that was. After Irma I decided that I didn't want to live in hurricane alley any longer. I'm a born and raised beach bum Florida girl but I'm happy up in the mountains of Georgia far enough inland that hurricanes don't do much other than cause more than a heavy rain event.
That is so gross and I didn''t even think about that part of it.
Moved from Clearwater last year to eastTN. Was thinking of buying land down there. . Glad we came north.
Why the mountains hunn… snellville cool?
I grew up in South Florida near the sea and I’ve visited Georgia. It’s nice and peaceful. You made a good choice.
The earth is not going any where , we are!! Hurricanes, fires, tornadoes, flooding global warming ,earthquakes etc.
All the things that have been going on for billions of years??
@Lee Loy yet we're still here
They're doing this everywhere. Investors are outpricing 60% of Americans. "A new owner". Yup. They cannot increase rent more than $25/year. No-they won't fix it-they make multimillion-dollar offers every year. Mr. "Magic Little Haiti" makes me puke-"innovation". 🤮
Agreed.
Well, the US housing market is wide open to foreign investors who have no intention of living there. They are speculators pushing the little guy out for profits!
Greed is running amuck.
I thought this was true as well until I was told my rent would be going up 25 percent under new management. I managed to get it a little under because I am always on time, but I am considering leaving the U.S. It is just not affordable for the foreseeable future.
@@perfectkarma1209 I'm not considering, I'm planning it! South America in 5 years for me. I know the town too.
"If the street is full of salt water what good is it?"
You can boat on it. That is a nicer commute to work.
Fishing? Drowning?
Venice do ok . Have a great sidelines using boats for transport
This whole program just pisses me off!!! I'm a registered nurse who works a Jackson Memorial campus less that 2 miles away from here. Furthermore I makes significantly more than the poor people in Little Haiti and I CAN NOT AFFORD TO LIVE ANY WHERE NEAR LITTLE HAITI! The rents are outrageous and to purchase a property near here is impossible! Subsequent I live in Broward county where I rent an appartment for $1980 a month for a two bedroom apartment. I can only imagine what these poor people are going through.
So, you think just because you're an RN that you should get a break in life? Live the big life while others struggle? Pretty haughty of you, don't you think?
@@spignetti That's NOT the point she's getting at!
The POINT is that if SHE can't afford to live there, then [LOOK at what she wrote near the end]:
"I can only imagine what these poor people are going through."
THAT is her point. That the pricing-out is at such a ridiculous pace, that even RNs (and others with similar incomes) can't even afford to buy or even rent there now so those poor people have no chance. Geez, learn some bloody NUANCE when reading! My gawd.
Umm you can definitely live in Little Haiti on 2k a month. I have RN friends who live in downtown and miami beach.
I live in Long Beach, CA and considering moving to Miami damn, now idk. Rents bout the same as LA but subsequently I just want a different beach experience LOL. It do come at a cost. And I’m the almost unemployed population who still makes more than a lot of his peers
Come here to the Midwest. You can rent a NICE 2 bedroom apt. here for about $800 a month in nice neighborhoods. I fled Miami a long time ago and you could, too.
Interesting....”climate change gentrification”...just when gentrification couldn’t get any worse.
Interesting & tragic that the people that are responsible for a culturally rich environment are being pushed out by “climate gentrification”... & to add insult to injury, the “Magic City” development is promoting that culturally rich atmosphere as a selling point....but what happens when that cultural presence is no longer there?
Its kinda of ironic really because in these neighborhoods the wealthy don't necessarily move in..they develop but the people who are moving in are the hipsters,millennials,liberals who talk down on these things,are against it and protest and despise it but yet are adding fuel to the fire byt inhabiting the area in large numbers because they feel they are moving to an area of art and rich culture and not putting money into these large corporations pockets lol but only move into le nicer new developments...and I have to add even my family has turned down offers a while back to give up our home to developers putting pressure on you to sell your property and if you decline they literally will build not even sparing an inch up to your property that legally allows them in all directions to the point where you are this tiny house surrounded by huge developments which in the long run forces you out and having to settle for what ever they offer and at that point its usually a low balling situation.
The fact they named it “Magic City” as a reference to the negative voodoo stereotype of Haitian culture also adds more insult to injury.
My point exactly.
rich ppl dont give a damn about nobody. and then they have the nerve to tell everybody else theyre just not motivated enuff
"I doubt less than 10 people have been evicted from the premises." Sounds like double speak.
10 people evicted maybe another 20 threatened. A few might have been arrested on false charges. MOB tactics.
10 ppl is too many what if it was u
^ Agreed. My guess is the rest of those that left just didn't have the means to fight back. So it was giving up what they had and being forced to move. The smug guy looks so proud of himself it makes me sick.
The rich get richer and the poor get swept under the rug and get pushed out when a few years ago they were on higher ground.
Miami is a place for rich people.
@@asielmilian38 not even close...most of Miami is pretty poor..the Miami everyone sees on TV is for wealthy.One thing about Miami though is that if you seek to make money it is there to make,The city is ment for hustlers and entrepreneurs not so much the 9-5 worker..majority of the population is unemployed lol but live a pretty luxurious life style compared to the rest of the countries unemployed because people in South Florida will break their backs just to look like money people here are extremely vain from the poor to the wealthy..
Asiel MILIAN - not true.
I love Miami, but Miami fake AF, just like Las Vegas.
@@Lzrdman91 Vegas definitely much faker
working same low income job for a long time means no escaping poverty..inflation is a killer!!
That poor elderly lady is going to pray and God will hear her prayers. You can't intentionally and mercilessly mistreat the elderly and expect to prosper. The judgment of the wicked is nigh!!
And yet many people have I think it’s horrible but your god thing is just ignorant there are people who mistreat the elderly then still live good lives and nothing comes back at them sadly
Unfortunately she is one of many in the same situation with no state gov help of any kind.
The developer plans on tearing that area down and building new. Since we humans are g-d and the creator of our experience, it’s how people will step up and support others; that’s how g-d shows up. There are people praying for homes under bridges and on streets all over this country #WeThePeople the humans created in the image, have the responsibility to take care of our neighbors.
It’s all going to get a lot worse, and when we act in community, we can be the Divine beings we were created to be.
Why would anyone want to live there with the constant stress of a threat of flood?
Not many families have the power to move out of state with a paycheck to paycheck month to month financial struggle
@@lop8828 You are right. I worded it poorly.
This is awful. There has to be a solution to this.
Unfortunately, violence is going to end up being the only solution. People don't care and won't listen. They have a Superiority Complex.
never live by the water. Duh !
The government has to prioritize climate change. The change unfortunately has to come from a much higher level.
@@orangeblossoms88 The new administration coming in has a plan
Yes
Execute all the wealthy and their families and seize their assets
The issue here is truly the heartlessness of those looking to invest at the cost of those who can’t speak up or don’t have the means to legally fight the greed attacking them. Shame.
Well no you just move to a different neighborhood. Happens all the time. In fact Poor areas in London are now rich and vice versa. Miami is a premium area to live and this happens everywhere across the world
Miami real estate is out of control. Catering to the rich while forgetting about others...
Then don’t live there. That’s all of Florida, not just Miami. A state of haves and have-nots.
Landlords being their usual greedy selves. Shameful.
You sound like a typical Leftist. Prices are determined by laws of supply and demand. Not by what you “think” the price should be. The more demand and/or the less the supply, the higher the price. And vice versa.
Contrary to what you probably think, not all landlords are multimillionaires who wipe their butts with hundred dollar bills.
👍❤️👍
we supplied the paint so that's a 40 per cent increase in rent?
How crazy is that?
What do you expect from his type ?
This is a Trump landlord practice, charge the poor under the lie of repairs and put the money in your pocket.
Wonder if they’ll discover similar practices with the building that just collapsed.

It's irrelevant, because if the water goes that high there will be so much water in the atmosphere that the storm level will rise so high no one will want to live there. There is concrete evidence that more moisture in the atmosphere = more convective storms.

I was born and raised there. Left for the Phoenix area in 2015 and don't regret it one bit. I was born there in 1978 and growing up it was a decent place to live right up until the mid-1990s. After that developers and a huge influx of people from up North and other countries ruined it. My sisters were both priced out and moved to Broward. I don't know now people live there now, it's so expensive. There aren't really any good jobs there either, except for maybe working for Burger King Corp or real estate. Yet people continue to flood in and the rent is insane now, the traffic horrible, poor wages, insane home prices (even in bad neighborhoods), and much much more.
all that coming to phoenix it is called a growing city it is normal
@@jjuanmarin It's already here bro. Rent has skyrocketed, traffic not too bad though, but the developers are still not as bad as in Florida. Still there are a lot more jobs here and I love the area. Not moving anywhere else for now. Florida is done for me.
Yup I lived near Miami gardens/ Miramar area just moved to Phoenix! way better opportunities out west
This documentary is bringing tears to my eyes. Not only are some of my novels set in that beloved crystalline city, I feel heartbreak for those who are being displaced from cultural areas of Miami from the rich.
Very sad...but the rich will get theirs...climate collapse is on its way. Watch.
Same here in Miami Gardens but not this black city.
“Our misssion is to bring people in, in an inclusive way” aka we don’t care that Haitians are being priced out, I’m trying to attract white renters to the area. And that’s how shameless they are in Miami

@@cashkitty3472 You are right. But the MAJORITY of rich people are white.
Why must we turn everything into a race issue. Money has no color. Do you think they would turn down your money if you are Indian. My God, we are just too race sensitive and it's not good for our kids heads. We need to look within more because we are becoming our own worst enemy.
@@borisquince6302 we are not turning anything into a race issue. Their actions did that. You know a tree by it’s fruit.

Straight up greed. Don’t believe the hype.
I wouldn't buy beachfront or island property anywhere without it being up on pilings.
This is one advantage of lightweight American houses made primarily of wood as opposed to the Irish and UK practice of building in concrete. The people of New Orleans have jacked up their houses on stilts to get above the rising levels of the Gulf and the Mississippi. This rise in sea levels is affecting many cities across Europe and only a few nations, most notably the Dutch, have any coherent plan to manage and get above the problem.
still a poor long term investment
The extremely wealthy are not buying remote islands so they can build their safe compounds and hide.
I don't buy what these realtors are saying. AGAIN, THE POOR PEOPLE HAVE TO SUFFER... GENTRIFICATION IS REAL AND THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. WHAT DO YOU DO FOR THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN LIVING THERE THAT ARE RETIRED, CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY THE COST.. IT'S EVIL, WICKED BEHAVIORS.. THOSE SHALL PAY FOR THIS EVIL.. POWER TO THE PEOPLE 💯💯🖤🤎💓❤️

@@gordonspears6320 Ummm that is text...not verbal.
I hate these greedy developers. Don't they get tired of being evil?
No they do not because they don't feel the burden of having too much money. If you took their wealth and made it all gold and they had to store it themselves.eventually they will look at it and say I got too much and get rid of alot of it , with crypto currency they can keep hording cash and not feel the burden.
"I'm trying to bring people in not kick them out" nah he trying to bring rich ppl in thats what it is
So? That’s how free markets work
Build a city in a swamp, ask New Orleans how smart that idea is. When you ask for something sooner or later you get it.
I live in Miami. Yes, there is high tides sometimes, but if I can tell you the truth...The government doesn't maintain the drains. We had record rain and roads in suburbs gets flooded. Note..The beach is like 20-25 mins away from a suburb. The governor launched an investigation into why the storm drains didn't drain properly, even residents would say the drains would never be cleaned.
I used to work as a waitress in Miami Beach for years and at the end of my shift my car after a heavy rain pour, many times my car was pretty much a boat and I would pray for my car not to die so i could make it home to North Miami.
Wow! That's scary! I read it was like that at Surfside.
I’m sorry Rusty.
Not for your car, for the fact that you live in such a horrible place like South Florida.
Don't buy beach front property, problem solved!

@@MsMesem yea all large constructions have to drive massive posts deep into the ground. Too deep tho and they will drop into the aquifer.
Miami Beach is notorious for having horrible storm sewers and drains. The city has never invested enough in reliable street draining systems.
water rises, every time you put a boat in the water, when a boat sinks, when a plane crashes into it, when you dump garbage in it, when you build up islands, etc.
Why does Martin Feldman go through so much effort to sound reasonable and empathetic? It would be so much easier for him to say that he wants to empty mobile home park through extortionate rent increases so that he can make higher profit on land development. Stop the drama.
Talk about greed, hope everyone leaves and leaves the renter's, with no renter's and all alone in Miami, or the rich will fight over an acre of of an island..
I left miami 3 years ago and didnt look back. That place is something else, contrary to what people see on tv and movies
Sad how greed keeps man hurting man.
Yeah and all for printed dead trees.
This is what happens when you ignore the warnings. The longer you resist, the longer the problem persists.
No sleeves can handle those guns!
no man could either.
I did a research personal project about land level 25 years ago (I was in high school at this time) and I was shocked to see that if my area flooded it meant that all of South Florida has disappeared in the water. Sea level rising is no joke, but like always those with money are exploiting those who lack it. That's the monetary-market system for you in a nutshell... someone is out to profit off on the misery, pain, suffering, struggles and deaths of another human being. This is no longer about politics, it is the outdated economic system itself that is the problem... time to evolve or die from sheer stupidity.
They need to adopt the GA system no land built here or the guns are drawn on you even the governor of GA agrees.

@Alex You will as soon as the waters rise and the rich kick out the poor from the high grounds.
@Alex It will happen just a matter of time. the only difference is you people will probably start killing them off. Being a red state and not seeing humans as humans. Don't tall me otherwise because I know the truth .

these people are empty void and soul-less, they look in the camera and JUSTIFY these evictions and rent increases, it is CRAZY
This is happening and has happened in every city in america where anyone of african decent have settled. Only the circumstances change. They are cold as ice.
That's because God is a racist
I noticed that big American cities people of colored black people getting kicked out or can't afford it anymore they revitalize the area then rent goes up rich moves in people moving out to smaller cities. It's yet to happen on Chicago yet tho.

I’m a Miami resident and I live in west Miami Dade in the suburbs close to the Everglades and this so true even in the suburbs the prices for houses have gone up so much is so hard to find a decent home in west Miami dade under 400k and rents are also very high
If you put all the buildings on stilts, maybe you could make a sister city Venice!
I remember Al Gore saying NYC will be under water by 2014.
Florida will sink before New York .Florida state is on top of sinking holes and a lagoon flat.
Miami beach floods 60 days in the year and every year it ads one or two days, and the flooding just gets worse. It's coming, slowly but surely and it's also accelerating.
You don't remember Tropical storm Sandy in 2012 that nearly did put NYC underwater. NY is still trying to catch up with infrastructure repairs from that storm & the weather is not getting better but worse!
A lie detector placed on the young fellow rep for Magic, and for the lawyer rep the same, would have gone so crazy that it would have overheated and broken down.
Miami beach had a place called stiltville. The houses only lasted 40 years. Torn down in 1985 or 86. I loved those houses.
Stiltsville still exists in a much smaller form, the last time I was out there in 2013. I just went to Google Earth and you can see the remaining few homes…zoom in on Bill Baggs Park lighthouse on the tip of Key Biscayne, then look southwest a bit across the channel.
Yes there are still several houses in stiltsville. They on national park property (biscayne bay). They are owned and operated by the stiltsville trust and some of them may be rented. They are not near Miami Beach. They are much closer to key biscayne.
Rich person "I live in Little Haiti I'm so culturally enriched do to the history here!".
Normal person "What happened to the original community?"
Rich Person "I don't know. I heard they were all bums, living in poverty and the old Little Haiti was a slum. So they bulldozed it down and built a new neighborhood on top of it so we would be more comfortable here"
Normal person "So you don't even know what it means to be from Little Haiti?"
Rich person "Sure I do it means being full of culture and being culturally accepting which I am now since I now live here! I'm now apart of the community and it's history."
Normal Person "....... So where did the original community of Little Haiti come from?"
Rich person "Um..... England because that's where all Americans come from right?"
The sad part is that the people of Little Haiti were not able to save enough money to buy a property while places were cheap.
Very hard for an immigrant to get a home loan
My Vegas landlord just kicked me out, after I paid the rent. Property values went up. Then the real-estate bubble burst. Ha !
The wealthy and retired move here to Florida and also want to live by the water BUT they just think flood insurance will cover this. It’s not meant to cover areas that KEEP flooding. And this previous major seems smarter than our current one but all Miami Dade has to do is make developers build Affordable housing. They just don’t want to!
Very informational. thank you for sharing.
Thank you for reporting.
This is one of the main reasons I moved back to Tallahassee after I graduated FIU in 2008. At 200 Ft. above sea level, we won’t have to deal with any of these issues the rest of the state will. When you get flooded out, come to Tallahassee & we would love to have you. ❤️
Hahahahaha.. that is not how it will go down. There will be MASSIVE population transfer that will impact wages, housing availabilty, crime and economic discourse across the state. When the time comes, none of you will be welcoming to the exodus of climate refugees.
Watching this after I watched an update the condo collapse June 2021.
As of 2019, the Miami Beach area was already experiencing alot of floods.
I had no idea all of this was going on in Miami.
Adam Yamaguchi 💪💪💪 🔥🔥🔥 😍😍😍 Sorry I couldn't resist 😉😁
So glad that Haitian chef put that mayor on the spot with his knowledge and the truth about the Haitian recidents and their sad outcome in the near future!
This is the reason why, as immigrants, we must build homes in our home countries. Save save save for a rainy day if possible. if everything else fails, then we have a home back home so we don't end up under the bridge.
Priced out in every state
"Oceanfront property" is about to be redefined. The big question is who is going to pay to take down the current oceanfront property that is about to become ocean. Our government city, county, state, federal needs to be addressing this now. Everything has to be dismantled and cleaned up for when it's covered by water to minimize pollution and to keep the waters near the new coast safe.
Of course they probably won’t address it until it’s too late. 🥲
these landowners make me sick to my stomach.
Thank-you Adam Y!
