Had a 8 hour layover in Fort Lauderdale. Never been to the city before and decided to check it out.

It was 4 days after Thanksgiving so it was relatively quiet compared to how it probably gets. Actually seems like decent time to go. Balmy weather then got chilly.

Beaches were cool. Beautiful multi-hue water. Lots of restaurants and bars on the main north-south beach adjacent road.

Retirees. Saw a few black folks, some seemed like they lived there, other visitors. Saw some Latina BBLs. Definitely seems like a cool getaway even in the Fall. The 1st driver who was from Spain said Miami is more Latin/International and Fort Lauderdale more Americanized. Waitress from Alaska, indigenous looking, said it's beautiful but expensive and she was thinking of moving to Texas.

I walked down Las Olas Street with more bars and reastaurants and then walked the Riverwalk which was dope, seems great place to walk, run, bike and kick it. Mad yachts and tall ass condos in the background.



Reading up on the city and they said it's a boomtown, with even more skyscrapers on way with financial and tech jobs moving there.

Overall cool experience for layover.

Spanning 65 acres across the Little River and Little Haiti neighborhoods, this ambitious proposal is set to introduce nearly 5,000 units of workforce and affordable housing, marking a pivotal moment in the city’s commitment to addressing housing needs.

All the poor that supposed to help will be long gone by time that’s half way done. We saw this with the Scott Projects being destroyed and folks being displaced.

Seeing what happened to Wynwood and is now happening in Overtown and Allapattah, I'm gonna go with bad.
It's the classic gentrification case: the negatives outweigh the positives
edit: we have the most corrupt and open white collar criminals in the city and county commission. The renders always look amazing but then between kickbacks and Clay Davis type grift it's all broken promises and pipe drams. See: Metrorail expansion we voted for over 20 years ago. Can't drive anywhere nowadays without dying in traffic but these a$$holes are building some spider leg garbage overpass downtown that no one asked for or wants.
