The line is irrelevant. The real question is what will development eventually look like inside and outside the line? High denisty urban everywhere inside the line, and one house per five acres over 400 sq miles outside the line? What about planned corridors of density, infrastructure, and transit, regardless of some imaginary line? Villages like in the Dutch or English countryside? Where is the vision?! While everyone wastes their energy fighting about a line, another year of bad development happens, both inside and outside the line. It’s like with the stupid Hometown Democracy folks: they want to cling to existing land use regulations, but what’s so great about existing land use regulations?! Most of Florida is zoned based on failed ideas. Sometimes I think “concerned citizens” like to fight about “holding the line” to distract everyone from the need to put high density TOD near their home in Coral Gables.
