Kendall is strip malls, sprawl, gridlock, and some palm trees to distinguish it from all the other suburban wastelands it imitates. There are no fucking views in Kendall, unless a vista of dirty canals and drainage pits soothe the weary car commuter's soul.

Transit improves house values not hurts them.

Kendall Drive has tons of potential.<br/><br/>Thanks for posting about last night's meeting. I'm planning on attending the one in Country Walk tonight and this gives me a good idea what to expect.

People are worried that Metrorail would block their view on Kendall Dr. Uh, what view is that, exactly? The view of ten lanes of traffic, or the view of the strip mall across the street? Don't these people realize that Kendall Dr., in its current state, is actually hideous? Does their love of driving make them blind to that?
