DeSantis Calls Special Session on Florida Property Taxes, Proposing $250,000 Homestead Exemption
Florida homeowners could be asked this November to decide whether to phase out property taxes on their primary residences. Speaking in Tampa on May 27, Gov. Ron DeSantis announced he would convene a special legislative session beginning June 1 to advance a proposed constitutional amendment that would sharply raise the homestead exemption now and chart a path toward eliminating homestead property taxes entirely. For Miami-Dade, where rising assessments have stretched household budgets, the plan would land directly on the region’s homeowners and the local governments that depend on their tax dollars. The Proposal: A Phased Path to Eliminating Homestead Taxes The plan, branded “Save Our Homes from Excessive Property Taxes,” would immediately exempt the first $250,000 of a homestead’s value

How the Miami Worldcenter Metromover Station’s Renovation and Rebrand Mirror the $6 Billion Development Reshaping Downtown Miami
The Miami Worldcenter Metromover station marked its 32nd anniversary on Tuesday, May 26, 2026. The station originally opened on May 26, 1994, as Park West, a name tied to the long-standing Downtown Miami neighborhood it served. It reopened in September 2025 under a new identity after an eight-month renovation that began January 6, 2025. The renaming, the renovation, and the timing all align with the surrounding Miami Worldcenter project, a $6 billion mixed-use development that has remade 27 acres of Downtown Miami across 10 city blocks. The relationship between the station’s physical transformation and the development it now shares a name with is the story. Miami’s transit infrastructure is no longer being modernized in isolation. It is being modernized in

Miami’s Tourism Recovery: The Comeback of the Cruise Industry and International Visitors
Miami sits at the center of one of the most consequential tourism moments in its modern history — a city where the world’s largest cruise port is setting passenger records, new ships are calling it home, and the FIFA World Cup is weeks away from bringing a global wave of visitors to its beaches, hotels, and neighborhoods. The convergence is not accidental. It reflects years of infrastructure investment, a deepening identity as an international gateway, and the return of confidence from travelers who chose Miami as their destination even when global tourism stumbled elsewhere.
