Honestly, with all this development, county revenues should be overflowing with revenues and our public services should be the envy of every other US city.

I feel bad for the people being gentrified from their meager dwellings as where will most of them go ? Big business developers are pushing people out of their abodes and on to the streets. These are obviously poor people being pushed around by big business, it is legal though and to some around that area it gets rid of an eyesore along with driving up land and property values.

My question is with all thisdevelopment and real estate boom, where's the evidence of the tax revenues spent in the the public sector? Is it the PAMM museum, our public schools, the road contruction, new trees on US one. There;s an awful lot of new real estate and it seems there should be an awful lot of new real estate tax revenue flowing in. Miami is a true boom town with incredible growth in real estate since 2009 or so.

Miami has been gentrifying for the past two decades and watch what is about to happen to Overtown also near downtown when the All Aboard Florida's BrightLine trains along with the Tri-Rail Coastal Link starts arriving.

Sadly Overtown is going to be vanquished in the process then you have David Beckham's Soccer stadium also being built in Overtown in the next few years.

As to the OP's questions about county revenues should be overflowing with revenues and our public services should be the envy of every other US city

Well Miami-Dade county should be grateful that tourists pay a portion of our Sales Tax and foreign buyers pay a lot of property taxes too.

As a result Miami's poverty rate keeps falling and is no longer in the Top 10 poorest cities in the US.

This is a problem due to city/government issues. Greedy code enforcement looking for a payoff from developers. The only reason "gentrification" happens is due to funny money flowing at a blinding pace from the Fed. There is simply no reason for a poor, low wage city like Miami to have overpriced real estate. What I have seen is that some non-ethnic blacks have left Miami and gone to the Lake Okeechobee area. Good news though. Once the FIRE economy fails huge lots of
luxury" condos will be just like this:

In the meantime they need to find out wher the owners of Coral Gables-based company Fullview International Group live and drop them off a nice gift.

If I had my way foreign investors would be arrested and sent back home to gentrify their own countries.

I believe it is in the plant 1-million trees Miami. By the way the booms have been since 2005 as there were 2 within a decade of time.

It's not only transportation infrastructure, but things like the sewer system. Frequent spillages, many developed areas still on septic tanks! Gas leaks have become almost a weekly thing in Miami Beach. The municipalities just don't charge developers impact fees because they're scared of them leaving and/or have various "business ventures" with them, is what I think. For example, the City of Miami just figured out a few months ago to have a mass transit impact fee on new development. And nope, no developers have backed off because of the fee. Imagine if they had been doing this since 2005.
