| I think he means the North Side of 170th Street because that is where they annexed but who am I to question another reporter. Google gives the location for the Mall in the Northwest Corner but the Business Journal says the Southwest intersection. Whatever, it all is somewhere on this map. |
According to the South Florida Business Journal....the largest mall to be built in America will not be alone, a developer wants to build 1,000 homes just South of it. More houses to flood. Good move. What is the elevation of that area?
Dacar Management affiliate Atlas Hialeah Heights wants to rezone the 135.3-acre site on the south side of Northwest 170th Street between Interstate 75 and Northwest 97th Avenue for high density residential. That would permit eight units per acre, for a total of 1,082 homes. The developer has the option of putting commercial/retail buildings on up to 15 percent of the site.They still aren't taking sea level rise seriously. It is coming from the West too folks.
In addition, Atlas Hialeah Heights agreed to expand Northwest 170th Street to two lanes and build a bridge east over Interstate 75.

Once you overbuild the gravity drainage system your city relied on will no longer work. Pumping water only works to a point.
Going to Disney will be impossible. We will have to leave Dade County at 4 am to miss the traffic.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is a nightmare traffic wise for the county and worst for those in the immediate area.
Think positive about the water: boating to the mall from Naples will as easy as simply be going east on the Naples to Miami Waterway.
Welp. I already predicted the traffic would become completely impossible from the mall itself, but add another high density residential area and it's bound to become an utter meltdown.
I'm totally shocked, amazed, and unsurprised, all at once.
What's the deal with high density residential at the very edge of nowhere suddenly becoming such a hot commodity? There's nothing out there. Nobody can live AND work out there because there's... nothing there. What?! Bueller? Bueller?...
Need some provision in law that saddles developers with future flooding costs and forewarns unsuspecting buyers.
Think of the rules for Superfund sites and pollution.
I hope that that 1000 work force housing, because that has got to be for the employees of the mall who will be working part time at minimum wage.
Don't look to Miami-Dade County DERM to say no, it's environmentally disastrous, as they should be an independent voice to put a stop to the insanity of this. And don't look to Gomenez' Climate Change go-to guy Jim Murley to say science tells us this is a planning disaster. Don't look to the state DEP to stop it. Don't look to the Feds either. There is nothing out there to protect this community from greed, stupidity and corrupting influence of lobbyists, power and money into campaign coffers of elected officials. This is what a civilization in decline looks like.
I would be shocked if this proposal goes anywhere. Too close to the miners. Usually, they wouldn't care, but this is much closer than anything else so far and they've been beat up enough about water pollution concerns and damage to buildings from blasting activities. Can't believe they'll sit idly by and let this large of a liability pass without comment.
