Miami strikes again. Another car dependent development, in a transit inaccessible site.

It's funny how the goalposts keep moving... First it was "kids never go outside anymore" and then, they find ebikes and scooters, instead of screens, go outside and its ...
I feel like kids are losing touch being outside on these electrified bikes and scooters

Before its too late, and before public transit is potentially turned over to private enterprise, accommodation must be made for people without smart phones. Thoughts?
Zoox is a 10/10 Robotaxi experience. I can’t wait until this becomes common in all major cities.

This one is a real disappointment. More car parking than (micro)units.
One West Twelve Residences rising in Overtown just west of the tracks. 23-story building consists of 372 units. Completion expected in 2028

Miami and Miami Beach by now should be far past the "please love me" phase of major cities that would justify this kind of thing. Neither NYC nor LA did marketing campaigns for GTA when III, VI and V came out. I recognize the last game came out in '13, but still.
"Chaos and lawlessness": Miami Beach commissioners debated, and ultimately approved, a proposed marketing campaign that would tie Grand Theft Auto VI's fictional "Vice City" setting to real-life Miami. wfla.com/news/florida/contro…

How much of Miami-Dade's traffic is due to parents criss-crossing the county to drive their kids to far flung... instead of... neighborhood schools
We don’t want any more development in West Kendall

Still no transit for the Edgewater neighborhood.
Three towers are rising across the street from one another: Edge House, Biacayne 18, and 1775 Biscayne Blvd. Together, they are expected to bring 2,330 units. floridiandevelopment.com/edg…

Good morning to everyone except the driver in the massive Chevy pickup who stopped in the crosswalk, forcing a kid walking to school into the intersection.
