Brickell Residents Discover Jumping to Their Death Is Quicker Than Taking the Elevator
A dangerous new trend is gaining momentum among residents of Brickellâs famous and lavishly overpriced high rises: jumping out of the windows rather than waiting for the impressively slow elevator to arrive.As the city with the highest disparity between average income and rent in the entire nation, Miamians are accustomed to the reality that almost none of their rent is spent on building quality properties or fixing that elevator that has been down since youâve moved in. Indeed, residents of Brickellâs many high rises have long complained that they frequently experience waits for elevators that go toe-to-toe with the release dates for the Game of Thrones book series, leaving Brick Heads with a daunting wait to get to work or the bank to cash daddyâs check.
Becky Bellagio, an innovative young Brickell blogger who goes by the name âBasic Beckâ has proposed a genius solution: jump to your death! Becky unfortunately did not reply to our queries, but her neighbor had this to say about her inventive solution:
âEveryoneâs doing it now; itâs simply ingenious. Weâve all contemplated suicide while standing in front of the cheaply made elevator button youâve jabbed at a hundred times, feeling your life stretch out in front of you and wondering if this building is really worth the $3,800 a month your dad is paying for you to live there. Iâve genuinely thought of killing myself every time Iâve stood in front of the elevator because I thought the only alternative was literally dying of old age waiting for it to arrive. By jumping out of the window you get to die on your own terms while making it to the ground floor in record time!â
