Miami Beach’s strict Spring Break measures have turned down the heat on rowdy crowds this year, with police reporting zero shootings and fewer arrests compared to 2022’s chaos. 🚨 While safety improvements are clear, local businesses are feeling the chill as partygoers stay home or go elsewhere.
Authorities credit the crackdown—including curfews, bag checks, and doubled police presence—for keeping streets calmer. 🚔 Still, some bar owners say revenue dropped by up to 40%, proving that balancing safety and fun is no beach vacation. 🌴
“It’s a trade-off,” one shop owner told reporters. “Less chaos means fewer customers, but maybe we’re building a better reputation.” 💼
