Cuban in the USA compares rental prices in Miami and Nebraska.

Cubana points out that in Nebraska it is possible to live by just paying the rent, unlike in Miami, where it is common to share housing to cover costs.


The Cuban who identifies as DeiFlakiFlow1 on her social media has generated interest on TikTok after sharing a video comparing rental prices between Grand Island, Nebraska, and Miami, Florida.

In her video, the user describes the significant differences in housing costs between these two locations.

According to the young woman, in Florida, specifically in Miami, an efficiency (a small one-room apartment) can cost between 1,000 and 1,400 dollars a month. In contrast, she mentions that her studio in Grand Island, Nebraska, costs her 550 dollars a month, which she considers a very economical option.

It also mentions that in this area, you can find studios with prices ranging from 400 to 600 dollars per month.

The TikToker also compares the prices of larger homes. She notes that in Grand Island, a one-bedroom apartment can cost around $750, while a two-bedroom one can be found for approximately $800. She highlights that in Nebraska, it is possible to live alone and pay rent, in contrast to Miami, where it is often necessary to share the space with another person or more in order to cover the rental costs.

This video has generated multiple comments and reactions, highlighting the economic disparities between living in a big city like Miami and a smaller one like Grand Island. In addition, many users have confirmed that indeed renting an apartment in the City of the Sun is more expensive. Still, many are willing to pay those prices to be able to live in Miami.

"I lived in Columbus and I can assure you that Miami is Miami and everything else is green areas. I respect your opinion, but not everyone has a bad experience in Florida," "I was never as poor as I was in Miami," "You can't live in Miami," "In Florida, it's a complete disaster... there's no balance between what you earn and what you pay for utilities," or "You forgot to mention that to rent in Miami, depending on the community, they check your credit and if it's not good, they can charge you up to three months in advance, and believe me, that's normal," some comments say.
