Comment on Ask HN: Is Miami a legit tech/startup city or was that just a meme?

Comments

Honestly this is the first i've ever heard of it. Was it even a meme? I'm sure there might be some tech companies there? I've just never heard it mentioned in any of my circles.

It was trying to be a “tech/crypto” hub, but really it was just hedge funds and wealthy investors getting tired of mask mandates in their home states and “moving their businesses” to Miami - compounded by Elon talking with city officials on Twitter.

I think Miami is a poorly managed, over policed, and a very segregated city - with a heavy focus on leisure and entertainment for tourism. In the same vain, I’d actually say Las Vegas is a bigger tech hub and more business friendly than Miami (honestly better weather too, the humidity and spastic thunderstorms in Miami are rough)

Can you shed light on Miami's poor management?
