I hear that that violent dictatorship in Haiti is no more. Rents are quite reasonable as well. Time for them to move back home perhaps.

Yep, I know.
The article blames the gentrification on climate change.
I suppose I should start using the /s tag.

As people flee NY and NJ to Florida, home prices are rising and rentals are disappearing. I just hope the Libtards don’t vote to make Florida into Manhattan South.

Does this mean I can get a deal on beachfront property in Miami?

The phenomenon is known as climate gentrification, and its impact is deeply felt in Miami's immigrant populations. Many, like Louis Rosemont, settled here seeking stability and safety, but are now finding their stability threatened once again. As more low-income residents move out and wealthier residents move in to areas like this across the country, some community organizations and activists are coming up with initiatives to try to fight it.
"Climate Gentrification"?
This is normal gentrification.
The land isn't losing value because of climate change. It's increasing in value and desirability as people buy up properties.
It would be "Climate Gentrification" if the homes were being swallowed up by rising sea levels and the property was under water and unusable which isn't happening.

"as climate change rearranges the Miami real estate market"
Only to the extent that people react to garbage information.

Right it’s a bunch of BS! Too many people in an area of little housing and it’s the same thing that happened in Prospect park, park slope and harlem! People with $$$ offering people with little $$$ big $$$ to sell their homes.
