Most people at my firm either are junior associates renting in Brickell, edgewater, or midtown, or senior associates/ partner that bought in gables, the beach, grove, or nearby areas.

Real estate in Florida has become very expensive, with insurance coverage becoming very expensive. You will need to get a job with a pretty major firm.

Yeah I know, I’m just trying to figure out where folks looking for houses actually live and commute from to Miami if it’s not a 2M house in Coral Gables

I just recently moved down and have two high energy dogs. I live near Shenandoah park (is like in the middle of a triangle between coral gables, the grove, and Brickell). We rent. It’s expensive (4k). But i split with partner. We have a good enough yard for the dogs to run around/chase lizards. It’s nice area to walk around too.
Maybe if you found a roommate it would be doable. It was more so just a challenge to find a house that was not in disrepair. We had to move out of the first house because of AC/pipes/roaches.

Everything is still over 1.2 mil unless it’s a foreclosed house

Rentals are expensive down here. A friend of mine lives in Boca and commuted to Miami via Brightline a few times a week. She moved after making partner though so she had some leverage to ask to WFH most days.

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us. She starts work at 4:30am and leaves around 2:30pm, but she still expects us to stay until 6pm and work on the weekends! She gives us really long shifts and doesn't give us much time for breaks. And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?
