Rising Tide: Priced Out In Miami | Full Documentary

"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.

So the poor workers live on the high ground and the rich want it now.

[noelhoffmann]

You can tell the architect/developer talking about little Haiti is fibbing. Even he doesn't believe what he's saying.

After the collapse of Surfside, Miami beach real estate is worth zero. This is about to get worse for these people.

[lazlomattachine]

Screwing over the poor and working class one ‘sustainable art installation’ at a time. It’s magic!

“Our misssion is to bring people in”

Interesting that this was in my feed, so I took the bait. Who's here after the Surfside condo collapse?

[jodievukmir]

Looks like the only one who "profited" from MagicCity is that guy

[impoppypanda]

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?

[thecalmwayhome]

I always wanted a little house by the changed my mind.

[mikem]

This trend of driving out for people is going on Nationwide not just in Miami

[mamarobyn]

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...

[Cutelittlecountrygirl]

sounds like a process to get rid of this community a 1 2 3 step.

[joyrider]

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.

[israelitetingz]

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 😔

[nawbrunitback]

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.

[brycenmccrary]

“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

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.
