The city of Miami is good for sightseeing, but if you are considering establishing a home here, think twice. A recent study published by 24/7 Wall Street says that if you once thought that living in Detroit, Michigan was the worst thing that could happen to you, that fear has now also moved to Miami, Florida, despite its unbeatable sunny climate, festive Caribbean atmosphere, and many beaches.
According to 24/7 Wall Street, the cost of living is among the highest in the country, yet its inhabitants are, on average, lower income than the rest of the country. There is also a lack of resources for its super-populated schools, social and health programs, and violent crime problem. These facts keep Miami in the top 50 worst cities in the US.
The inequality in Miami continues to create discontent between those in poverty and those who are more affluent. According to the Institute for Economic Policy, 1% of wage earners in the Miami metropolitan area generate about $2 million annually, 45 times more than the average income of the rest of Miami’s workforce.
It is undeniable that this whole situation generates frustration, violence, and criminality. A disproportionate share of the residents of this South Florida city has experienced some of these consequences, with the violent crime rate being 1,060 incidents per 100,000 inhabitants. This is several times higher than the national rate.
For Miami residents who are reluctant to believe in these sources, the Miami Herald also cites them. It is unfortunate, but it is a reality.
What is left for Miami residents, who for some reason are immobilized to seek better and quieter areas to establish their new home and provide security for their families? We recommend that you surround yourself with security systems that protect your property and your family from being the victims of violent crime.
In addition, we recommend to try not to get out of your car to close your garage doors or gates, as it is just as possible to be robbed in your own home. It is better to install one of our automatic door/gate control systems, for the safety of you, your valuables, and your family.
