Parking costs in major dense cities are always quite high. In Boston you'll pay $200/month.

MrC doesn't strike me as MAJORLY dense, but I'm willing to go with your judgement on this one Chad ;D

The crime is bad (car got broken into), the beach is not really anything to write home about (well, the features of the landscape, that is ;D). Oh yeah, and art deco gets old very quickly!

Did you have nonFlorida plates?

Yea, I drove from St. Petersburg, Russia ::).
I guess you might be right, though. As you live there more, you get to know it more, and know how to avoid crime, etc.

I figured you started your vacation in St. Petersburg, then drove to Miami.
Rereading these posts, it's more obvious you'd have Florida plates.
Even if you started your vacation in St. Petersburg you would have rented a Floridian car.

I'm thinking I'll likely get a monthly MetroRail pass ($56) either way. My wife and I only own one car and keeping it that way will help us avoid acquiring and insuring another one. With a MetroRail station on campus it seems like a no-brainer. But living in Ft. Lauderdale would add $80 per month PLUS the commute time, which would include however much time it takes at the transfer station to change trains from the TriRail system to the MetroRail (I have no idea how long this takes or how frequently MetroRail trains come, etc.). So while living in a nicer, safer area is appealing, it sounds like this is unrealistic. Plus, I think Ft. Lauderdale might be more expensive than Miami. Tommy might be able to comment on that.
BTW Tommy, what is the commute like by rail? Google tells me it's about 40 minutes by car.
