Can't afford a brain drain

Developers are buying up trailer parks to build more housing, but the people who live in them can't afford to go anywhere else. Miami desperately needs more affordable housing -- and not just for lower income people.
I know plenty of college graduates who can't afford the rent on the money they take home. They either move back with their parents or move very far, sometimes traveling more than an hour or two to work.
Many of my friends' children don't even return to Miami after they graduate from college. The jobs don't pay enough to have a decent standard of living here.
We're facing a brain drain, folks.

I wonder if Miami can accomodate more "housing" - lots of luxury condos are sitting empty and the speculators that invested in them are facing hard times.

It is an expensive place to live - no doubt about it. But with the hurricanes, rude drivers, and crime, how can anybody not want to live here?

Just kidding. Miami is not what it used to be. I am looking forward to getting out and moving to a quieter, less expensive place.

I just have to wait until this housing crises is over so that I can sell my house for what it's worth.

Good luck!
