Host Jeremy Hobson reports from Miami in day two of our special Marketplace Morning Report broadcast on the theme "The Next American Dream." We take a look at the real estate market from two sides -- from the point of view of billionaire developer Jorge Perez and from the point of view of realtors dealing with the low-end of the housing market. We'll also hear from Miami Herald reporter Doug Hanks about what the Miami Heat and star LeBron James mean to the city, and take a tour of one of Florida's hottest new tourist attracations -- the Sawgrass Mills mall.
