Krome Gold photo contest, more! by gimleteye



Check out our Krome Gold archive, at right, for information on how you too can participate in the most famous game contest on the internet: the examples of housing bust in Miami-Dade County and our exclusive, patented point scale system based on the smiling faces of the unreformable majority of the County Commission!

Here's a photo of the new Lennar development near the South Miami Dade landfill, the highest point in South Florida. Long after sea-level rise from global warming floods the Florida Keys and South Dade, the landfill will be the southernmost landmark of what was once the continental United States. It will ooze toxics for hundreds, maybe thousands of years!

The second photo is the view from the Lennar development, across "wetlands". Percolating up from below is an ocean of scarcely treated municipal wastewater that has been pumped by county commissioners in a continuous flood for two decades... almost 100 million gallons per day.

Actually, it is Natacha Seijas, the de facto chair of the county commission, who is most responsible for the super low water rates in Miami-Dade County and the inadequate infrastructure that papered over the building boom now in cinders. You did it for the LBA! Thank you, Commissioner Seijas!

Looks like a great place to own a home, so long as it's only for a little while!

Is that the black point landfill in the second photo? Do these people have a view of the landfill?

If that's the Black Point Marina landfill, poor people that buy houses there. Mine is about one mile away and the stench from the landfill plus the water treatment plant nearby, sometimes makes it unbearable to go outside our homes. How can the BCC approve developments on or close to that area? In addition, the mosquitoe population grows every season due to the closeness to the marina.

Yes, the South Dade Landfill is the view from the kitchen window I'm guessing, from some of the southernmost units in the development.

We need TERM LIMITS for these scum bags.
Actually, we can cut at least 3 districts. That would leave us with 10 monkeys.

8 IS ENOUGH

Aa long as the Water & Sewer department can spend millions on service for thousands of stolen cell phones and not notice, or $1 million in stolen postage meter money and not notice, I am paying too much for my water bill.
