Miami’s Growing Economic Divide

Miami is witnessing a significant economic disparity, often termed as “Aspen-ization.” This term describes the development of a dual economy that exacerbates the struggles for those in lower income brackets.

The U.S. economy increasingly seems to favor wealthier individuals, creating a stark divide from those with limited means. Residents like Armas vividly encounter this division daily, reflecting broader issues in the economic landscape.
