Row Over New Projects. Is This Coral Gables?

Sorry, this is not Coral Gables, but it shows what happens when projects and financing are selected without community participation and consultation.

Railroading programs over the views of the community, even under the guise of beneficial investments, is not a good idea for the long-run political well-being of the city, nor is it a sign of a health democracy.

Critics say there was no consultation, a classic example of the way business was done…
