I was talking with a friend who just left NYC today, and we were on the topic of mass exodus from cities. I asked her what her plans were and she said she was unsure. She then listed off a few places and finally said "probably Miami because that's where everyone I know is going."
Now, take this with a grain of salt, but this person has lots, and I mean lots, of friends in NYC. All of which primarily work in the tech, art, finance, or advertising field. I didn't think much of it, and moved on with the conversation. Then, I see this post. My first thought is "Oh, ok. She's just repeating whatever Twitter or media is click-baiting now." Googling Miami and looking through the news, I couldn't find anything except one article.
Now I can't confirm what my friend told me, but this was a casual conversation and she has quite a large social circle. Always keeping up with everyone, and keeping everyone updated about everyone else. Miami might not be a tech hub, but something is happening, and it isn't being noticed. When unnoticed massive change is taking place, opportunities are usually right around the corner.
- ttymck 6y agoThe mayor of Miami has been pushing hard for the city to be seen as a destination for technology companies. Either we have different definitions of "going unnoticed" or "massive change".
- de_nied 6y agoI pointed out that there were almost no articles to be found one this. I also gave my personal anecdote, in addition to this thread. Hence I used "going unnoticed" and "massive change." I'd like to think I keep up with technology companies and where they're going. Not knowing about Miami, and seeing barely any news on it while I'm specifically searching for it, means to me that it's going unnoticed. Seems to me like an unlikely venture though with all the hurricanes.
