Visionnaire Miami

Miami excess and gaucherie at its worst. This place is a furniture store (showroom, really, since the furniture is too large to go out the door!) and playground for the rich. Besides me, I’ve never actually seen anyone in here, except the self-​satisfied employees who lock up behind them on their way to lunch. You know, lest anyone smear his grimy plebeian fingerprints all over their two-​story mirrors and white-​leather couches larger than my house while they are off for a midday champagne and some caviar crostini.
If any of this stuff IS bought at these outrageous $ 10,000+ price tags, they’re private foreign buyers who, again, make appointments so as not to accidentally mix with the detestable Miami working classes.
This store is on one level beautiful, on another sickening, a sign of everything that’s wrong with Miami, and a living testament to income inequality. I am not poor, but I don’t know a single actual flesh-​and-​blood person in this neighborhood who could pay for this stuff, let alone WANT or FIT it in their houses.
We need FUNCTIONAL businesses in Edgewater, not foreign banks masquerading as furniture stores. If this is a visonn (with two n’s) of the future of this area, I don’t want to be here to see it. Miami, we can do better!
