What Miami Beach Really Needs... Is Glass Towers and a Highway Instead of Ocean Drive

Miami Beach, with its unique low-rise pastel buildings, charming sidewalks, and annoying historical character, has long been held back by one thing: its own identity.

But not for long.

The time has come to boldly erase the past with the future—one 70-story glass tower at a time. We’re talking shimmering fortresses of solitude that block out the sun, the neighbors, and the concept of scale. Because who needs charm when you can have shadow?

Let’s Talk Progress: Six Lanes of It

Ocean Drive is cute, sure. But what if, and hear us out here, we bulldoze the cafes and put a six-lane expressway in their place? Tourists don’t need to walk; they need vehicular efficiency. Picture it: Lamborghini traffic jams from 5th to 15th Street, all day long. The hum of progress!

Bonus: Residents won't need to complain about noise from bars anymore—they won’t be able to hear anything over the roar of 18-wheelers hauling luxury condo materials at 3 a.m. High-Rise? Try Sky-Rise

Forget that pesky "height limit" nonsense. Let’s reach for the clouds or even block them completely. Imagine 100 floors of reflective glass gleaming like the future we’ve all been waiting for—where you can live in Miami Beach without having to see any of it.

Historic district? More like hysteric district. Tear it down. Build higher. Replace Art Deco with “Art Don’t-Co.” Preservation is Overrated

Sure, some people think historic buildings connect us to our past. But we say: Why preserve a 1930s building when you can replace it with generic glass towers, like Dubai or even Sunny Isles Beach. That lifeless feel of so many travelers desire. It’s not demolition—it’s an upgrade. Let's dumb it the hell down like they did in Dubai. Conclusion: More. Bigger. Now.

The future of Miami Beach isn’t pastel—it’s chrome. It's not about history; it's about hustle. Walkability is for cities that gave up. Scale is for cowards. Shadows are the new sunshine.

So let’s make it official: Welcome to Glass Beach by the Sea—formerly known as Miami Beach. Because when it comes to development, if it ain’t massive, it’s just… pedestrian.
