After three consecutive years of spring break violence, Miami Beach officials are implementing monthlong security measures aimed at curbing the chaos, including parking restrictions for non-residents and closing sidewalk cafes on busy weekends. The city has warned visitors to expect curfews, bag searches at the beach, early beach closures, DUI checkpoints, and arrests for drug possession and violence.
But business owners in the city’s world-famous South Beach neighborhood are now concerned that they’ll lose money during one of the busiest times of the year, and civil rights advocates say the restrictions are an overreaction to large Black crowds.

Sorry, but we've all seen videos of Spring Break in Miami. Maybe if the 'large Black crowds' behaved themselves, the business owners and city officials would welcome them back.
Seriously, if you threw a party every year and every year, one group started fights and stole your shit, would you continue to invite them back?
