How can we save, stop, and slow down miami from Mass Commercialization?|130709

I would do anything to have my city back to how it was before, at least somewhat peaceful, tropical landscapes, instead of these massive high rise condos, and mini malls. Is there anyone in charge of protecting even the soil from this greed?

too late... they should have haulted new construction and protected historcal buildings years ago.... its ridiculous now.. its happening here in saint augustine, fl as well

Make it less attractive to live there. Then everyone will stop moving there and construction prices will go down, making it not worth it for new development.

You must be kidding! You want peaceful tropical landscapes, move to the Dominican Republic.

Miami is a big tourist town and it derives a lot of revenue from the gazillions of tourists that go there each year. Like MLaw said, Miami and mass commercialization are synonymous. If you want a quiet, slower paced town, you may want to consider moving because Miami is a great place to visit with many beautiful houses, lots of old architecture to go along with the new and it_s so famous because it_s tropical, warm and a popular place to film shows. I don_t think the city of Miami intends to slow down...it wants the tourists and their money! Once progress is _on a roll_ it_s hard to stop it. It_s pretty much the same thing where I live now, but I will be moving to a quieter city within a few years where it will be many years before this small city (or if it ever) becomes mass commercialized. Look at how many people have vacation homes or condos that live up north where it is cold, snowy and really hard to get around in. I understand how you feel, but I think it is way too late to stop Miami from continuing to develop.
