Miami has become the most important city in America, FT Magazine has declared.

The city is now considered to be a “paradise of freedom,” attracting people from everywhere and of every political persuasion, the magazine wrote.

Many of the new arrivals are now attracted by the open environment in the city, in addition to the usual attractions of low taxes and good climate.

“The Miami Movement,” as mayor Francis Suarez calls it, gained momentum when Covid hit, and has grown so large that it has changed the city in a way that is more than just a migration of people, the author noted.

Some of the new arrivals are already contributing to the city’s art and philanthropy scene, the article said.

Business and restaurants are booming, and buyers continue to flock to the area, willing to pay sky high prices.

Venture capitalist Keith Rabois, who has been a loud advocate for the city since moving here a few years ago, said Miami is the like Silicon Valley in 1999.
