How on earth do clubs in Miami exist?

I’m going to keep this super short, how in the hell do clubs in Miami exist?
I’ve been staying here for a few weeks and I have seen some of the wildest and craziest shit. Nothing bad, no one is dying or anything like that but people are on all sorts of things beyond just booze, girls obviously have careers due to winning the genetic lottery. What’s even crazier is that cops are sometimes literally right outside the goddamn club! They don’t even do anything but sit outside watching movies on their phones.
Where I am from, these places would be immediately shutdown. Don’t even get me started on South Florida drivers, I’m surprised I’m still alive along with everyone else.

And I driven in Dallas, Seattle, LA, NYC, etc. Florida has the worst drivers.
One good thing about Miami cops though, they do tend to focus on actual crime more than bullshit.
Aside from bad drivers, traffic, high rent… this place is a nice tropical paradise.
Personally great place to visit, wouldn’t want to live there. I’d rather be on the gulf side.
I will play along and comment on your discussion.
Q: How on earth do clubs in Miami exist?
A: It is not secret that Miami's Adult Industry (Night Clubs, Strip Clubs, Porn companies, escort services, etc, etc, etc,) and Police Complicity “engines” are “fueled” by Criminals and Money Laundering
Cops worrying about criminals instead of strip clubs is a good thing.
Leading causes of traffic congestion: illiterate immigrants, jackasses from NY and NJ, blue-haired white-knuckle snowbirds, idiot millennials and Zoomers driving while staring at the cell phone. Seems like only Gen X has their shit together, barely.
Miami is not listed in any studies of the most violent cities in America. Do your research.
Miami, like any other urban center, is going to have a preponderance of democrat party voters; but as long as there is a strong community base of Venezuelans and Cubans who understand what Communism truly is, the democrat party's worst fringe impulses will be tamped down. It is not accurate to describe Miami as a thriving democrat party base.
So I guess I’ll just have to be the dissent. The central Texas area imo is worse because there’s too many alpha males driving around their oversized trucks to their white collar jobs and they are constantly towing their ego around. San Antonio in particular has lots of locals who don’t believe in tying down their furniture, etc when they are hauling it across town and sometimes it lands on the freeways. Denver has too many people from all regions of the country with wildly different driving styles trying to coexist somehow. If one is used to other areas, driving in Miami is a vacation 😁
LOL
Hey faggit you can rent a yacht for cheap lololol
20fag see you in vegas
But still a great place to live and all that.
I also think maybe being employee status contributes to the hustle. THe one time I worked an employee club in Minneapolis - the managers/bouncers kinda encouraged you to hustle, but they also like helped you make money too. Cuz they rarely told u to go up to someone that wasn't trying to spend. All the other employees besides the dancers were also hustling the tips hard- probably hustling those harder than dancers themselves haha. But ye over there a dude couldn't just sit/stand all night n be a bum like some clubs where they get away with that bullshit.
I think the employee status helps. The clubs do anything to steal the money from girls. But if it goes to taxes it helps them be in the system. If it's for house fees it let's them earn more. And they have something guaranteed on the slowest nights. They're guaranteed to not lose money like at some clubs.
But what I've seen in Vegas is djs call guys out who are just bums sitting and watching and not spending. I like that.
When I lived in Dallas in the 2000s, there were hardly any Cubans – mostly Central-Americans most of those Mexicans – one thing I noticed is that besides being very-hard-workers, they def seemed to like getting-their-drink-on especially on the weekends; which seemed to cause a fair # of serious-accidents.
In Miami, at least back in the day when I was growing-up; AFAIK the main-reason car-insurance was so-high was b/c there were so many uninsured-drivers – IME these were often Cubans that had a combination of not having high-paying-jobs thus not wanting to spend on insurance; and the concept of paying-for-insurance being something they didn’t-grow-up-with and perhaps saw “as a waste of money”.
Yeah – Miami does have some really-bad-parts although those-parts def felt/were worse back in the 80s and 90s (e.g. the infamous “Pork and Beans” (street-name) housing-projects which were often featured in crime-shows like “The First 48” and were eventually torn-down around 2015) – the bad Miami-parts are not as bad as they used-to-be but still those-parts are not where one wants to be if one doesn’t have to.
w.r.t. the cops at the club; they are hired by the club so they are not gonna intervene unless the clubs tells them to.
Miami started getting more-and-more of a party-rap starting in the 2000s – seems to me the-powers-to-be don’t wanna be too-heavy-handed since so-much of the local-economy depends on tourism, and the party-crowd; so it seems to me they let more shit slide although there’s been a fair-amount-of-pushback especially in South Beach since that area has gotten a bit too crazy and it’s a very-expensive-area for business-owners and many feel the best customers/tourists may be being driven-away by the riff-raft invading South Beach whether it’s local or out-of-towners.
Miami IMO may be alright to visit, but not live – I’d say if one is young *and* likes the-party-lifestyle then Miami is good for that, but o/w I don’t think the quality-of-life is that good to live day-in and day-out – Broward County (next county over/north) used to be an escape from Miami back-in-the-day; but seems Broward is not what it used to be in decades past although I don’t spend much time there so I’m not sure how good/bad it may be these days (perhaps the newer suburbs on the far-west-side of Broward are good?).
If I had my choice and wanted to live in SoFlo, I’d perhaps live in Palm Beach County (2 counties over/north of Miami) – far-enough from Miami but still within-reasonable-driving-distance if one wanted to drive to Miami on their time-off – but I also don’t know how much Palm Beach County has changed in the last decade or two; it used to feel “a world away” from Miami although it’s only about an hour away.
Anyone who remembers this town in it's heyday has some great memories of the beach, and those kids who grew up in Miami during those times had one hella great time.
Miami is definitely not for everyone. I'd agree that it's great if you're young and like to party. I lived there in my 20's and had a blast. I could probably retire if I had the money I blew back then, but it was worth it. Nowadays, I dread Miami. I love Palm Beach, but when I have to go down to Miami for something I literally feel my pulse and blood pressure increase from just driving down I95. If the Dolphins moved to Palm Beach I'd probably never go to Miami again.
May also be because, among Latinos, the closer they are to the coast, the more impulsive they are.
What was Miami like pre-Mariel? It was more dominated then by the educated, entrepreneural first wave of refugees from Castro.
