‘Wait Until They Realize They Make 40% Less Than NYC’: Florida Newcomer Faces Backlash After Saying an Apartment in the State Is Cheaper Than in New York

There are many things that may set off the alarms of some people living in a specific city, yet one that really makes people turn their heads, raise their eyebrows, and even gasp is when someone says something that isn’t entirely true. To give you a quick example, one person on social media claimed that living in Miami, Florida, might be cheaper and more comfortable than in New York. What that person was not expecting was a wave of backlash, as those who live in the city think that it is much worse.

‘District level reform': How Success Academy hopes to change education in Florida

In about nine months, parts of Westland Hialeah Senior High’s second and third floors will be filled with the energetic chatter of kindergarteners and first-graders who won a spot in the lottery to become Success Academy’s first students outside of New York City. Students will go up a staircase that’s currently being built just for them in the back of the school to gather in pastel-colored classrooms filled with bookshelves, counting blocks, chess games and baby dolls. Success Academy Westland Hialeah Elementary is one of the first five schools of the nonprofit charter operator, known for its high test scores and rigorous culture, to co-locate inside Miami-Dade public schools. But for founder Eva Moskowitz, these schools represent a larger ambition: building a Florida network big and successful enough to demonstrate that her model can work at district scale. Moskowitz wants 40 schools in Florida within the next decade and expansion appears to be just around the corner. Last month, the charter school toured and got floor plans for another ten existing public schools to possibly open next in Miami-Dade. Read more: Success Academy wants to open 40 schools in Florida.

Ken Griffin wants to join Coral Gables' exclusive country club. The price? $2M

Miami billionaire Ken Griffin may soon add another exclusive South Florida institution to his portfolio: Coral Gables’ Riviera Country Club, where a newly created membership category carries a $2 million price tag. The founder and CEO of Citadel is among a select group of 10 people nominated for the new memberships, which offer full golf privileges, but more importantly, allow members to bypass the club’s long waiting list, The Real Deal first reported , citing people familiar with the membership push. The club’s board is expected to vote on the nominations later this month, the publication said. The new membership category, created in October, is non-voting, meaning members receive full golf privileges but do not have voting rights at the club. For regular members, an existing golf membership costs $175,000. The Riviera Country Club at 1155 Blue Rd., Coral Gables’ most prestigious, is among the private institutions attracting the newly arrived ultra-wealthy — though wealth alone does not guarantee admission. The country club’s decision to offer a limited number of $2 million memberships shows how some clubs are accommodating the demand and capitalizing on the influx of ultrawealthy newcomers willing to pay a premium for exclusive access.

How Give Miami Day changes South Florida - and how you can help soon

Mark your calendars: Give Miami Day is returning for its 15th year, giving people in South Florida another chance to open their wallets to help local causes. The 24-hour philanthropic event, hosted by the Miami Foundation, is on Thursday, Nov. 19, from midnight to 11:59 p.m. But early online giving opens at midnight on Saturday, Nov. 14, and runs through Nov. 18 Give Miami Day began after a 2012 survey by the Knight Foundation revealed that the Miami metro area was the least civically engaged in the country. “Consider this an invitation to the most meaningful quinceañera Miami has ever seen,” Rebecca Fishman Lipsey, president and CEO of The Miami Foundation, said in a statement. “We’re celebrating 15 years of building a generosity movement that supports nonprofits and their leaders.

Brickell church land is set to become a high-rise. Goodbye to another open space | Opinion

Brickell residents are losing their battle to stop church land along Biscayne Bay from becoming a 75-story high-rise. Yes, they chose to live in Miami’s busiest corridor, where condo and business towers have created the city’s modern signature skyline. But the push for development over preservation risks hurting what makes Miami so attractive to so many people. The 619 Brickell By Nobu, a luxury condo building, is slated to rise behind First Miami Presbyterian Church at 609 Brickell Ave., now that one of the last hurdles to the project has been lifted. The city’s historic preservation board voted 6-1 on Nov. 3 to lift a historic designation from the church’s annexed school and parking lot, where the tower will be built. The board also voted to shrink the site’s historic boundary to just the church and a 15-foot buffer, the Herald reported. The area overlooking the bay behind the church has been used over the years by residents and food trucks. It has also been a welcome bit of open space along the waterfront. The $240 million sale of the land to developers would certainly help a church that has had money issues, but it has rocked First Miami’s congregation
