Miami’s great!

Forget the headlines — Miami is a great place to live!

Recently, my 60-year-old house has begun to fall down around me. I have needed insurance adjusters, water-removal specialists, plumbers, painters, carpenters and gardeners. All these workmen have been on time and professional. They are from all over the world. Many are graduates of the Miami-Dade Public Schools and Florida International University.

Let us all feel lucky to call Miami home.

John Branstetter, Miami
