Miami Forida is a city of over 2 million, where over 60 percent are Hispanic. The business exchange corridor to all of Latin America, Miami’s banking and import-export are among the strongest in the U.S., not to mention its tourism. Crime rates are down and home values are up 21 percent this year to $245,000.

The only bad news is shrinking economic opportunity for the middle and lower classes. Still, you can’t beat the culture annual film and theater festivals, and book fairs or the arroz con pollo, frijoles negros and flan de coco.
