Jason Maddison

This is by far the most amazing city in the US. This comes with a cost as everything is expensive in Miami. Expect to pay for parking at all hours, more at the grocery store, more at the gas station, excessive HOA fees and a budget in itself for tipping. The flip side is everyone is enjoying life on the island and the level of wealth seen is unlike any other area; as with the level of poverty inland.
