On My Mind: We Are That Boom Boom Town
There’s been plenty of talk about whether Miamiposting has peaked, whether the memes, the bravado, the internet-era hype cycle has moved on. Maybe it has. But spend a few real days here and it’s hard to deny what’s happening on the ground. Miami is America’s boomtown in the truest sense of the word. Not performative growth. Actual momentum.
What’s striking isn’t just the cranes, the capital, or the founders. It’s the energy, and how different it feels from so many major U.S. cities right now. While places like New York, San Francisco, and others feel deeply fractured by politics, ideology, and cultural division, Miami feels unusually aligned. Not perfect, but unified in a way that matters: people here are rowing in the same direction.
There’s a shared belief that life can get better. That opportunity is something you build, not something you litigate. That your family’s future is worth betting on. Pro-business, pro-growth, pro-community, pro-Jewish, and largely allergic to the kind of self-defeating pessimism that’s taken hold elsewhere.
Quite simply, we have a zero tolerance policy for negativity and woke bullshit.
Collectively, we underestimate how powerful that alignment is. Cities don’t rise because of AI or tax policy alone. They rise when a critical mass of people are optimistic, motivated, and moving forward together.
Right now, Miami feels happy. Hungry. In motion.
And that’s what boomtowns are made of.

More North Bay Village Action: The Go Go 80’s Return
In the 1980’s the Kennedy causeway was popping off, like Wynwood or Brickell today. North Bay Village hasn’t had this much action since Benihana first opened. From the Continuum to the Ritz Carlton to the Pagani to Palm Tree Club it’s coming from both sides of the equation: capital and culture.
