All types of preservation, be it open space, everglades restoration, historical and archaeological preservation, in the state of FL has been severely curtailed at the Federal level to pay for the war in Iraq, and at the state level due to precipitously dropping property tax and retail and wholesale sales tax receipts.

It’s a shame, historic 19th century buildings in central Oralndo and Miami and Tampa have been sold off and demolished, the Everglades restoration project is dead in the water for at least the next 3 years, before even 1% of the project was finished on the ground, and open space advocates have lost almost all battles against rapacious land developers in Central and South Florida.

This circle in Miami is so low on the list of sites to preserve it will only remain intact due to neglect, benign neglect at best.
