"Florida Marlins stadium vote delayed until March"

Here's the plan. All the concerned citizens of South Florida should band together and take out an advertisement in the Miami Herald about this horrible idea. Anyone with me? I'm in for $50!

We've gotta bail out the land speculators!!!

A mention in the Killian Newspaper

Fellow sprawl-haters, I regret that I haven't posted in nearly a month. I'm quite busy teaching and honestly quite sick about Parkland.

I'm scared the men and women who clogged our roadways and plowed over farmland are going to keep getting what they want. Tax money for a baseball stadium? Sure! Parkland? Why not!

We had so many citizens speak out against Parkland at the community council meeting and it meant nothing. It was a foregone conclusion.

Even in the face of an economic meltdown, we aren't able to honestly evaluate the reasons how we got here. We just gotta get the hammers pounding to keep the growth machine sputtering ahead.

This isn't sustainable.

Hooray for CBS 4 doing some good reporting!

These people don't even have 911 access. It truly is a ghost town:

But we need Parkland, right?

We have subdivisions that are COMPLETELY EMPTY! Why do we have county commissions again?

This is not a well-loved corporation:
