The county commission where I live tried to push the smart growth stuff over the past 2 years.
The only twist is that this plan benefitted the large developers, and screwed the little people as opposed to screwing everyone like Florida’s plan.
Floridians have two visions they can follow, the 2040 vision plan as constructed by real estate development lobbyists and their whores in the legislature, or the alternative 2040 vision plan by local, regional and academics from UCF.
And I much prefer to see Florida not a continuous strip mall and suburb from coast to coast by 2040.
