Let's organize!

Here's a really great opportunity:


Friends:

You have an important voice in your community which is why we wanted to bring to your attention to a critical issue and ask for your participation in a discussion on Wednesday, October 22nd. As you may have heard, the Lennar Corporation is seeking approval from the County to build 7,000 new homes in Parklands. At a time when the Miami-Dade housing market has already reported 59,798 pre-foreclosures in the first nine-months of 2008, why is there a need to build more?


If you are concerned about:

Decreasing home values
Traffic congestion
Overcrowded schools
Insufficient emergency services for our fire and police
Revitalizing blighted communities
Impacts on our drinking water supply
The Everglades and our National Parks

Come out to discuss the proposed Parklands Development and what you can do to help Hold the Line.


We believe we need the community to take a careful look at proposed developments outside the Urban Development Boundary and develop a shared vision for future growth that helps protect our health, our environment, and our community.


PLEASE JOIN US:


WHEN: Wednesday, October 22, 2008 from 7:00 - 9:00 PM


WHAT: Discussion of the Parklands Development Project (Food and Refreshments will be provided)


WHERE: Doc Thomas House, 5530 Sunset Dr., Miami, 33143


Please contact me at dshirreffs@cleanwater.org to R.S.V.P. or call (305) 653-9101 with any questions. We look forward to seeing you on October 22nd at this important first meeting.


Sincerely yours,



Dawn Shirreffs

We Believe ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

First of all, land speculators and developers were able to turn too much farmland into suburban tract housing. The mortgages were offered to individuals who couldn't pay for the housing. We are now witnessing the result: COMPLETE FINANCIAL MELTDOWN.

The politicians will respond to us if we are united. Parkland is an obscene development which will attempt to circumvent the urban development boundary in Miami-Dade. We are endangering our ability to live in South Florida.



Eye on Miami, one of the top blogs in South Florida, has been on the case for months:

The first hearing is with the West Kendall Community Council on October 27th at 6:30 pm. It will be at the Jorge Mas Canosa Middle School, 15735 SW 144th Street.

TOGETHER we can accomplish so much more. Let's put a stop to the sprawl in South Florida.
