How Miami’s Housing Costs Are Affecting Students’ Lives
Every morning, the drive to Coral Gables Senior High School brings a familiar view of Miami: palm trees, towering glass skyscrapers, thick morning humidity and the restless energy of a city unlike anywhere else in the world. For many students, Miami is not just where they attend school, but where they grew up, where their families have built lives and where their roots run deep.

David Lawrence Jr. honored by South Florida immigrant rights community
Former Miami Herald publisher David Lawrence Jr., a longtime advocate for children, families and immigrants, was honored Saturday night by South Florida’s immigrant rights community. Lawrence became the first recipient of the Guardian of Justice Award during the Americans for Immigrant Justice’s 30th anniversary gala in Miami.

The 619 Brickell By Nobu will rise behind First Miami Presbyterian Church at 609 Brickell Ave. after the city’s historic preservation board lifted one of the last hurdles needed to build on the site. The Brickell area has seen a boom in luxury skyscrapers thanks to an influx of wealthy buyers. Board members voted 6-1 on Nov. 3 for lifting a historic designation from the church’s school and parking lot, which sits directly behind First Miami Presbyterian, an area that will become the tower’s home. They also approved shrinking the site’s historic boundary — which originally included the entire three-acre parcel that the church, school and parking lot sit on — to just the sanctuary footprint plus a 15-foot buffer. Only one condition came with the vote: that the preservation board retain architectural review powers if any substantial changes are made to the tower’s exterior. “We appreciate the Historic and Environmental Preservation Board’s careful consideration of all the information presented and its ultimate decision to preserve the historic 1949 sanctuary, enabling the church
