Call him what you will – a really good salesman or just a brilliant troller – but Francis Suarez, the mayor of Miami, is getting some high praise for his marketing campaign in San Francisco. Drivers on the highway are noticing a billboard designed to be a tweet from Mayor Suarez that reads, Thinking about moving to Miami? DM Me.
The intent, according to CBS SF, is to drive tech workers who were forced out of their San Francisco offices by the COVID-19 pandemic to Florida. The New York Times published a lengthy piece on how tech employees couldn t get out of the Bay Area fast enough.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. – Miami Beach Commissioner Ricky Arriola, a registered Democrat, was elected in 2015. He was re-elected in 2019 and his term doesn’t end until 2023, but some leaders of the Miami-Dade Democratic Party want it to end sooner.
Miami-Dade Democrats are sponsoring a resolution that would formally censure Arriola. They are citing alleged racism, COVID-19 lies, and unprofessional behavior. The resolution will come up to a vote during their next meeting in February.
Steve Simeonidis, the Miami-Dade Democratic Party chair, said Arriola needs to resign or he will face a recall effort.
