This is even more lopsided then the Baltimore vs. DC waterfront thread.
Miami has one if not the most famous beaches on the planet, sits in what is regarded as some of best waters on the planet and has the weather that allows waterfront activities year round. There’s probably more waterfront development on Miami Beach alone the there is in the whole of DC.
I love DC as much as the next guy and what they are doing at The Warf and Navy Yards is great for the region, but Miami all day ever day with zero hesitation lol

Is Miami able to withstand the amount of development along the Potomac and Anacostia rivers?

I’d have to wager yes it can just off the fact that Miami’s waterfront is active 100% of the year which drives its development. While I haven’t personally been to Miami, I have numerous family members that live there or frequent the city and all can vouch that if anything Miami is accelerating on water front development.
The only thing DC has “going” for it is that in 50 years Miami could simply be underwater 😕

As far as upscale dining, Thomas Keller, Jean-Georges, Stephen Starr, Michael Mina, Jose Andres, Daniel Boulud have all set up outposts here; NYC outposts include Michelin starred Caviar Russe, Scarpetta, Il Mulino, Wolfgang’s, etc; DC’s Michelin starred Fiola opened up here; and many highly rated European based restaurants (Le Sirenuse, La Petite Maison, Nusr-et, Amare, Zuma) have chosen Miami to open their first US restaurants.
Miami/Miami Beach is known for its nightlife vibrancy and shopping (Bal Harbour, Aventura, Design District, etc).
If there’s 3 things Miami is known worldwide for, besides the beach and being the cruise ship capital of the world, it’s dining, nightlife and shopping.

Is Miami's waterfront as vibrant as DC's in your opinion? Is there upscale dining?
