Most of Miami is 6-8 feet today because Miami has had mayors (mostly democrats) for multiple decades now that took climate change seriously, made it a core part of city planning, and overall, in general, the city paid a lot of money to avoid some of the most egregious mistakes ahead of time in its infrastructure.
"Miami is going to be fine, mostly" isn't a slam dunk argument that climate change won't have real impacts, because Miami has already been fighting against it. (A lot of the rest of Florida has more to worry about in part because they haven't been nearly as proactive.)
