Although Miami is still one of the most attractive tourist cities to Latin Americans, the city faces a number of problems and not popular in the United States itself.
Forbes Magazine ranked Miami as the second city “miserable” in the country, exceeded only by Stockton, Calif., with a smaller population of nearly 300 000 inhabitants.

the poor ranking of Miami is a direct byproduct of the economic crisis, says the Voice of America. In addition, the reason that she jumped from ninth place so little encouraging list to number two, lies in the housing, the collapse in the value of houses and condominiums, said the Voice of America.
However, the magazine also took other considerations including climate, the performance of sports teams, the unemployment rate, taxes and time spent on motorways to get to work and the crime rate.
And while Miami has an enviable climate, housing prices fell 50% in three years, while unemployment is 12% and was the largest city with more foreclosures in 2010
Another negative point that stands out is the high corruption Forbes “with 404 public officials convicted of crimes this decade in South Florida.”
However, Miami’s appeal to tourists does not decay and the rate of hotel occupancy rose nearly 8% last year.
Also filled cruise ports in the last three months of the year with 1,140,000 passengers. While the internment airport had a record number of passengers in 2010 to about 35,700,000 people.
