, South Beach was called God's waiting room. Unlike its glitzy image today, back in the sixties the lower end of Miami Beach was a collection of cramped, cheap hotels where senior citizens from the north came to spend their last days.

David's review
of
Exiles in Eden: Life Among the Ruins of Florida's Great Recession:
"I enjoyed this one when I didn't expect to. The title and description sounded a little interesting, but after all, a book about the housing crisis as it played out in South Florida? It helped that I had lived there and knew a little of the geography,"

“Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.”
― A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches
― A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches
“Now there is a final reason I think that Jesus says, "Love your enemies." It is this: that love has within it a redemptive power. And there is a power there that eventually transforms individuals. Just keep being friendly to that person. Just keep loving them, and they can’t stand it too long. Oh, they react in many ways in the beginning. They react with guilt feelings, and sometimes they’ll hate you a little more at that transition period, but just keep loving them. And by the power of your love they will break down under the load. That’s love, you see. It is redemptive, and this is why Jesus says love. There’s something about love that builds up and is creative. There is something about hate that tears down and is destructive. So love your enemies. (from "Loving Your Enemies")”
