Miami’s housing market has gone off the rails. A local realtor just listed a basic one-bedroom apartment for $7,000 per month – more than many Americans earn in two months of full-time work. This isn’t luxury – it’s lunacy. While the unit includes amenities like a pool and gym, these flashy extras shouldn’t justify bankrupting working families.
The average Miami renter pays $2,171 monthly for an apartment. Even “expensive” neighborhoods like South Grove Bayside average around $3,633 for three bedrooms. This $7,000 listing proves coastal elites see hardworking citizens as ATMs. They’d rather cater to foreign investors and trust-fund vacationers than help teachers, nurses, or police officers afford to live near their jobs.
Local leaders enable this greed through excessive regulation and taxes that stifle affordable housing construction. Instead of protecting middle-class families, they’ve let developers turn Miami into a playground for the ultra-wealthy. Meanwhile, inflation under Bidenomics makes groceries and gas unaffordable – now they want us to pay Malibu prices for Florida concrete boxes?
Foreign cash floods Miami’s market, with 25% of luxury units sitting empty as investments. American workers get priced out while global elites treat homes like stock certificates. This isn’t capitalism – it’s economic warfare against U.S. citizens.
Some claim rents dropped 5.9% this year, but that’s cold comfort when average one-bedrooms still cost $2,550. Wages haven’t kept pace – Miami workers earn 12% less than the national average. The American Dream isn’t dead – it’s being zoned out of existence by bureaucrats who prefer importing new residents over protecting current ones.
Conservatives demand solutions: slash property taxes, eliminate red tape for builders, and ban foreign home purchases. Let’s put Americans first instead of coddling speculators. Every empty luxury tower should shame city officials who abandoned their constituents.
The left calls this progress. Real patriots call it robbery. When a studio apartment costs more than a military salary, our priorities are broken. Miami working families need relief – not another overpriced juice bar in the lobby of a billionaire’s empty condo.
