From Strawberry Fields to Skyline: What The Little House Teaches Us About Miami-Dade's Growth

In this episode of our Kindergarten series, we revisit the timeless children's book The Little House by Virginia Lee Burton — a beautifully illustrated tale of transformation, resilience, and the slow march of urbanization. Originally published in 1942, the story offers surprising parallels to the evolution of Miami-Dade County. From the strawberry fields of Kendall to the developments rising across Homestead and the Redland, host [Your Name] reflects on over three decades of change in South Florida.We explore how once-rural landscapes have been shaped by waves of development, the rise of Transit Oriented communities, and the holdouts — those properties that, like the little house, stood firm as the city grew around them. This episode is a thoughtful look at growth, place, and the choices we face as Miami continues to expand.Whether you're a buyer, investor, or simply a longtime resident curious about the county's past and future, this episode is your invitation to reflect on how far we’ve come — and where we’re going next.
