Quote from Copernicus:
All the rich from Caracas live on Brickell.. All the other rich in South America are not stupid enough to have all their eggs in one basket. Most countries in South America have a possiblity of some populist coming in and nationalizing everything.
IMO, in twenty years Miami will be far more developed than today.

Quote from traderdragon2:
Wow, what a creative way to say absolutely nothing of value.
Hey I know, in 20 years the stock market will be higher than it is today! Shocking!
In 20 years, the dollar will be worth less, shocking!
In 20 years there will still be people stating the obvious on the internet
We know we know, you are a hard core real estate perma-bear, worried about losing his real estate holdings value.
:eek:
Quote from Copernicus:
If the ethanol cooperation between Brazil- US materializes, Miami is going to benefit. When Castro's are done in Cuba, thats going to benefit Miami as well. The South American rich all want to live on Brickell or at least have a place there, as these nations grow wealthier there is going to be more demand.
picking up a unit right now with nice views is not a loosing proposition 5 yrs from now

Quote from blast19:
No offense..but Castro dying isn't going to really boost Miami housing prices...it's probably going to see a lot of Miami money go to investing in Cuba depending on the outcome.
Don't tell the Fed, but I've been to Cuba in the last few years and they aren't exactly loaded to the gills waiting to invest in Miami!![]()
Do you have statistics showing that wealthy foreigners want to live and own in Miami? I don't have anything to the opposite, but from my worldly travels I find that people are less and less interested in America as a place to live. Europe and Latin America is actually quite a good runaway point for more and more Europeans and Americans.
Quote from Pa(b)st Prime:
Is Buffalo more developed than 20 years ago? No.
Is the Nikkei higher than 20 years ago? No.
Florida's population continues to grow. The country is getting older. The allure of a warm weather state with no income tax and a homestead exemption is not going to subside

Since I'll never sell my home I don't care what it's value is.
Quote from TM1:
It's already losing it's allure; it used to be fairly cheap to live here, not any more. Without some meaningful type of insurance reform this state is doomed. I'd be interested in knowing the latest population numbers, I think there are as many exiting as coming these days.
