Miami Housing and Care Costs | Gloria Romero Roses
Gloria Romero Roses · Candidate, Florida House District 113
What does it take to make Miami a city that works for the people who live here?
About This Conversation
Host Irvans Augustin joins Gloria Romero Roses, who has spent four decades in real estate, affordable housing, and community development, for a conversation about how the way Miami grows shapes what it costs to live here.
Gloria connects housing supply to density and transit, using Brickell as an example of a high-density corridor, and makes the case that a household able to go without a car could save roughly $15,000 a year. They also discuss child care and elder care, including how neighborhoods can let older residents age in place near family.
