Miami - good neighborhoods, bad neighborhoods..

Factual Questions
1

I am probably going to move to Miami or thereabouts in the next few years (gotta get these questions in before they start charging ;))

What is a good neighborhood in Miami? bad? Can you walk there, or do you have to have a car? Jobs? Are there any good neighborhoods in walking distance (<5 miles) of Gulfstream Park? Hialeah? Calder?

Is there any kind of public transportation? Is Miami a city in the sense that Chicago or New York are cities? Not like Los Angeles, which is just a bunch of suburbs (not that there’s anything wrong with that!!)

2

Nobody? Miami? Big city? East Coast of Florida?

Is it all old people and tourists, with a few Cuban exiles thrown in?

Most of these questions would be better asked in IMHO, so I’ll close this thread. Feel free to repost in the appropriate forum.
