Rhythm & Vine is garbage now. They changed the loudness and the type of music played to get rid of brehs and brehettes.

I live in Lauderdale Lakes off Commercial going on 2 years.

Pros:
More bang for your buck on places to live. I have over 800 square feet under $1200/month. Good luck finding that in Dade.

That’s a real nice skyline

I thought Fort Lauderdale was a small city.

I always assumed it was more ratchet than dade cause of the stuff Kodak be rapping about

Broward has it's fair share of rough neighborhoods. But there's also a relevativley decent sized black middle class to balance it out a bit. For every Golden Acres(Kodaks hood in Pompano) there's a Plantation, West Miramar, Pembroke Pines. These are all areas where there are black middle class neighborhoods, where nothing crazy happens and home ownership is stable. And Fort Lauderdale is the county seat, and chief city of Broward County, and Broward has a population of 1.9million ppl (probably 2million by now). So Fort Lauderdale is basically the county seat of a county with a population of 2million ppl. The skyline grows bigger every year. If the 2million or so ppl in Broward, black ppl make up 25%. Hispanics make up roughly 25% as well. Maybe even 22%. So right off the bat, you see Broward has a more balanced distribution of races. Black ppl aren't on the fringes in Broward in terms of political power and visibility, like in Dade County. Dade County is roughly 16% Black compared to 65% Hispanic.

Is Hollywood grouped in?

I stayed in Hollywood before and enjoyed it. Beaches were more chill and the small downtown was dope....together I'd say 7.5. I prefer it over miami all day long.....

Hollywood Beach Boardwalk has a bohemian kinda feel. Kinda like Venice Beach CA.

Whats the best neighbohoods for a mid to late 20s black man in Ft Lauderdale? I'm seeing Victoria Park, Rio Vista and Las Olas alot but are there any black people there? Seems hard finding racial demographics online. I can relistically afford upto 1800 a month. But would prefer 1200-1500.
