Why Miami's Geography is AMAZING

Miami is a unique city as it blew up in only 100 years, but how did it grow so fast when some cities took hundreds of years to grow to the size they are today?

It has a great location but it was certain entrepreneurs who upon arriving started to change the image, infrastructure and logistics to develop into an international city that it is now. Before certain groups moved in. It was still a sleepy town. A diamond in the rough with mostly laid back retired types.

This channel will be hitting 100k in the next year. Mark my words.

Florida is well equipped to deal with sea-level rise and hurricanes so chances are close to 100% of the state (including Miami and the keys) will still be here forever

Great video but slight correction to your intro -- Singapore has developed in far less than 100 years. Singapore only gained independence in 1965 and at the time was poor, underdeveloped, and lacked any natural resources.

Great content as always! Caught off guard by the sudden stop though

Miami has a tropical climate, not a subtropical climate. Just check its Köppen classification.

You need to check the spelling when it comes the names of places in your slides. It takes away from what was an otherwise great video. Here are the misspellings: "San Jaun" at 7:34, and "Dominion Republic" at 8:21.

Idc what people say, Miami and (especially)key west is carribean. Its the closest you’ll get to the carribean without leaving USA. Bahamas is LITERALLY next to us and Cuba is LITERALLY below us.

OK, but have you looked into the geology? It's a karst topography.  
Just ask the folks from the Champlain Towers South in Surfside 
north of Miami Beach.

[BTman]

[miamianz]

Miami has a tropical climate not a subtropical climate. Please do better research before making a video.

Hey where ever General Tso go I go ! Hey pretty girl hand me a yellow bird !

It's location as a gateway city has also been a curse of obstacles too. There is hurricanes sea level rise and floods of immigrants from many very poor coutries near by. The deadly murder epidemic from the cocaine drug lords of the 80, s is one example. Miami is no walk in the park bro beleive me.

[truestory]

Weren’t rich people buying land in nearby neighborhoods that are higher above sea level???

Public Transportation? NO! Busses that run every 30 minutes are not reliable enough for people to depend on who have to work. Tri rail is more reliable with time than Brightline, which has many accidents because the people in those areas aren't used to new train track crossings. Brightline is a very loud and rickety and you can hardly walk down the isle to get to the bathroom because of that, being over priced doesn't help them either. English speaking only is slowly being marginalized to where 70% of all jobs you need to speak Spanish too. So if you are of Hispanic descent and not Afro-Hispanic with that, you'll be fine, you'll do even better if your str8 out from a Latin communist country too.
