We arrived in Miami Beach on March 19 2023, so walked right into the curfews and chaos. We had no idea. At one point, walking home from dinner, we got caught up with a spring break crowd on Ocean Drive and it was scary knowing what had just happened there - they were pulling down road signs and there was definitely a sense of danger in the air. Good that the area is more peaceful now!
Also, kids are less likely to socialize, go to parties, or plan vacations these days. Much easier to stay at home and online. I’m a high school teacher and it breaks my heart to see how little they hang out with each other after school
I just read something about that this morning, regarding the benefit to children of blocking phones at schools. This article insisted that we will have an entire generation of kids who don't know how to interact with human beings.
As a resident, the restrictions make a huge difference! We feel bad for the well-behaved tourists who happen to be here at the same time, but there is significantly less people here and it’s a wonderful breather in the middle of tourist season. Just don’t cross the bridge on the weekends…. It’ll take you over an hour to get back, especially after 6pm.

So true. In the hallways they all just stare at their phones instead of talking to each other 😢

I'm glad to see it has a positive impact on the residents. You're correct about the traffic!
Looks like they got it covered, and you too! In your sleuthing! Btw I have 2 cenote lists, should I DM them to you?
Yes! Thank you.
Will send tomorrow latest.
