Miami-Specific Traps
- "Beach party 24/7" — South Beach is tourists. Locals rarely go.
- "No need for a car" — FALSE. Miami is car-dependent.
- "Cheap alternative to NYC" — Rent is now comparable, with lower salaries.
- Ocean Drive — Tourist trap. Walk to Lincoln Road or Española Way.
- Hurricane ignorance — Know your evacuation zone. Get supplies early.
- Car insurance shock — Florida has highest rates in US. Budget $3-4K/year.
- Condo fees — Post-Surfside reforms mean high assessments. Ask about reserves.
