It s not more expensive than Chicago (I lived in the Chicagoland area and I know how very expensive that place can get- for example, gas is extremely expensive in Chicago) but right now Miami is going through terrible economic times and there aren t really any jobs there at all. Florida is one of the states that is being the hardest hit by the recession.
depends where you live! hialeah is cheap as is little havana but if you want to live somewhere nice then yes it is expensive. thing is you get paid more in chicago here you make the minimum and the homes are quite expensive relative to the home prices since foreigners buy most of the properties here. in my condo most owners are foreigners with second homes.
Miami is extremely expensive....probably second only to Palm Beach as the highest cost of living in FL. It is very expensive to visit as well.
Yes miami is much more expensive then chicago.
