Just a small correction. Miami has a hotel bed tax, not a beach fee. I have friends and family that visit and stay with us regularly. They have never been charged to stay with me nor go to the beach. Compared to the rest of the tourist traps down here the beach is one of the best values.
As for the cities of Miami and Miami Beach being solvent, LOL. Depends on who you ask. There is never enough money for the things we need (public transport, housing, education) yet plenty of money for things we never asked for (stadiums, Amazon HQ2).
- linkregister 8y agoIf you are staying at a hotel and want to use its beach chair, you are charged a usage tax. It's somewhere around $10.
- yardie 8y agoWhich I think is fair. The hotels have basically staked out a part of the public beach to put their chairs and umbrellas on, indefinitely. This takes space away from the public use.
- linkregister 8y agoI agree. The subject is tourism taxes, which the original parent poster claimed did not work. I asked for evidence and provided a direct counterexample, with no avail.
