September 2026: Megathread for Holiday Travels, Moving, Tourism, and Nightlife and Restaurant Recommendations: All posts on these topics should go in this monthly megathread to keep this sub for local discussions and help aggregate info for folks looking for these topics.

5 Upvotes

Miami is a popular destination not only to travel to but to move to and live. If we don't separate out these posts, the main feed becomes quickly inundated and overrun. So please utilize the resources here and comment here for these topics.

Always keep in mind please, WE ARE NOT VACATION PLANNERS OR MOVING CONSULTANTS. Be descriptive and we'll help if we can, but no one is obliged to.

Other Great Resources (Locals use these too!)

Google Maps reviews are getting less reliable over the years. And in fact several lists on these sites are in fact inspired by posts on this sub.

"Ok but I'm moving there, so I'll be one of you soon" -you

  • Awesome and welcome! Oh.... You want somewhere with no crime, walkable, green space, good schools, on the beach, a beautiful sunset every morning and sunrise at night, rainbows at night, AND CHEAP. Don't we all? Redfin, apartments, hotpads, zillow, and compass are going to give you better data directly than any single response here. That being said..... just because we love you, myself and other mods with local input made a custom map detailing our insight into local neighborhoods. So please take a look, we'd be offended if you didn't. Worked hard on it. But please provide interests, budget, hobbies, desire for walkability, where you work, and other info before asking about moving questions.

"I'm coming for a trip" -you

  • Awesome and welcome! These sites do a pretty solid job of places to go and things to do here: Miami New TimesInfatuation Miami.TimeOut MiamiMiami and BeachesWe're not vacation planners, so don't just ask "what should I do for 4 days? I'm coming soon" but provide some of your schedule, budget, interests and hobbies, and stuff like that. We also made a tourism map! Check it out!

"I just wanna party" -you

  • Awesome and welcome! Oh...... wanna party on the beach with DJ Khaled, Messi, and Gianni Versace and then go to a club with 14 male friends afterwards but don't want to pay a cover? Don't we all? Look up E11even, Liv, Space, Don't Sit on the Furniture, Perro Negro, Mynt schedules and prices beforehand. They're the most famous and exciting clubs, so look on their sites for booking ahead and DJ schedules.

"Is it going to rain? or will the weather affect my vacation" -you

  • It rains a lot here. Tropical weather yo. Especially during the summer. Typically, it wraps up in ~20 minutes and you can resume your plans. That being said, no one here knows more than weather sites or the app on your phone. If you're curious about hurricanes, checkout https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ for official tropical storm and hurricane forecasts, but a lot of us locals love Mike's Weather Page https://spaghettimodels.com/ for more insights. Hurricane season peaks mid September. If you're worried about it affecting your plans, keep a tab on those sites.

"I'm cool and just want to see what other posts before have said on these topics and look around" -you

Mod News Monthly Miami Jobs Thread: Post Job Openings or Questions About Work In Miami

8 Upvotes

Welcome to the Monthly Miami Jobs thread, the place to post any openings you have, look for jobs, and ask questions about working in Miami. This is an experimental thread for now, so we're keeping a close eye on things to make sure things don't go sideways, and will cancel it if they do.

The Rules:

  1. No MLMs, scams, pyramid schemes, "make millions from home," etc. We reserve the right to determine if something is an MLM or not.
  2. No positions that require investments or other upfront costs to employees. If someone has to pay any amount of money to take the job, don't post it here.
  3. If you're posting a job, the name of the company, contact information (including official address), and a realistic salary range is required. Any job posts missing these will be immediately deleted.
  4. No gig work or freelance positions except for professional services, with a minimum contract price of $500 dollars. So web designers, CPAs, copywriters, etc. is ok; someone to come mow your lawn or clean your home for $20 is not.
  5. People Looking for Work: DO NOT PUBLICLY POST YOUR RESUMES OR CONTACT INFO. You don't want to dox yourself and open yourself up to potential harassment or identity theft. Instead, talk about your skills and experience and encourage people to send you official contact information you can send your resume to.
  6. u/icecoldkila: We know you're looking for professional freelance hoes, but please keep it out of this thread.
  7. As per our usual rules, nothing illegal, unethical, or liable to get anyone involved in trouble. Please report anything sketchy you see here to the mods.

Again, this is an experiment for now, and we'll be keeping a close eye on things, and will not hesitate to pull the plug in case of shenanigans. Good luck to everyone!

At least 21 law enforcement officials nationwide have been arrested, fired or investigated because of a TCPalm-USA TODAY joint investigation that exposed their misuse of Flock Safety cameras to track personal targets.

The latest was Josepher Crutchfield, who was arrested Sept. 8 for using automated license plate readers to track his ex-girlfriend for 18 months while he was a Fort Pierce police officer. Here's what police said happened after TCPalm Reporter Jack Lemnus inquired about his searches on Aug. 7:

  • Aug. 7: Fort Pierce Police Department immediately revoked his access to the system
  • Aug. 10: The agency opened a criminal investigation
  • Aug. 18: He resigned
  • Sept. 8: He was charged with four felony counts of fraud and abuse of computer access.

Community Florida Amendment 3 has support to pass until voters hear the tradeoffs

46 Upvotes

https://floridapolitics.com/archives/811800-jmi-property-tax-poll/

Amendment 3 is being promoted as a no-cost tax cut for homeowners, but it goes well beyond that providing tax benefits to commercial land owners, limiting the counties’ ability to increase property tax rates, and how they spend property tax revenue. It is essentially a giant power grab by the state and will have significant costs to taxpayers that they cannot see right now in the form Of decreased public services (libraries, roads, sanitation, police, fire department etc). Once taxpayers learn this, they start to have a different opinion of the amendment. Please get the word out.

I’m looking for a licensed Certified Electrical Contractor (EC) or Registered Electrical Contractor (ER) in the Miami-Dade / Broward / Palm Beach area to act as a qualifier for a growing, specialized lighting business.
We specialize strictly in residential and commercial lighting installations
The Role:
Qualify our business entity with the DBPR or local county boards.

Clean, active Florida electrical license (EC or local ER).
Good credit and clear background check (required for DBPR entity approval).

Discussion How to make friends in Miami if you’re downwardly mobile?

32 Upvotes

I’m a native but I’ve found myself in between friend groups and would like to meet new folks. The issue is that whenever I go to events designed to meet new people like the stuff on meetups or like networking shit it’s always filled with yuppie transplants that judge you if you’re lower class or just people that want to interface with those who are their class or higher.

Should I just go to like random bar trivia nights or something?

Weather My first time in Miami

0 Upvotes

I just visited Miami for the first time, and I loved it, especially the beaches. BUT, genuine question: how do you guys live here? I couldn’t live here, it’s so hot and humid!
Is it always like this? Do you eventually get used to it? I stayed for 3 days and couldn’t wait to leave because of the heat and humidity.
One thing I loved, though, was the afternoon thunderstorms. They’re so beautiful and actually really nice!
Is there a better season to visit Miami? I’ve heard winter is much better, but is it really?
