"If more people seem to be driving and walking around downtown - well, they are.
The number living in downtown Miami grew 81% between 2000 and 2010, according to recent consultant's study for Miami's Downtown Development Authority. That's a huge jump compared to the area's growth the prior decade. According to the 1990 census, 36,140 people were living in downtown. The area's population grew a mere 8.4% to 39,132 at the turn of the century.
Today, the report estimates 71,000 people live in the Downtown and base on the available housing the number could jump to about 81,000 by 2014." (Miami Today article by Zachary S. Fagenson)
As a resident of Downtown Miami myself, I must say, I have watched the city grow over the past 4 years. From my 43rd floor balcony I saw 12 buildings alone being built from the ground up. The cranes, trucks, and workmen have come and gone. Now we're left with gorgeous towers now inhabited by people from all over the world. Miami is a beautiful city. I've witnessed a once and a life to event. Watching a city being built in such a short time. Miami - she's a beaut! And I love this town.
