There were some really good proposals in there, and it is a shame our neighborhoods will not be more pedestrian friendly, or well planned. <br/>Hopefully, the Miami 21 will eventually be instated as law, it will just take closed minded people to open up and listen to reality.

A city where half the population risked their lives to flee an oppressive dictatorship on a raft doesn't take kindly to having unpopular new laws slapped on them by authoritarian decree. <br/><br/>Translation of "Additional meetings would be unproductive, approve as is" -- "I'm not going to change my mind, and could care less what your constituents want. You'll adopt my law and like it, or... um.... er... I'll go back to my ivory tower and write you a letter telling you how very, very angry I am about your refusal to let me have my way."<br/><br/>God, it was fun watching that arrogant b**ch get smacked around by just about everyone in the room. She needed a good humbling and public reaming-out, and she definitely got it yesterday. Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk learned a hard lesson yesterday.
