Big Box stores are nixed
Finally, Big Box stores are now banned from residential areas of the Grove. The Miami City Commission is a bit too late for the Home Depot though, but at least they stepped up. Guess they know Johnny Winton's days are numbered and they are now trying to save their own asses.

Okay, so now what about the building codes? With our mayor busy stacking the city council it seems we can rename the masterplan "Miami 22". Meantime we are being inundated by cookie cutter, prefab, grassless McMansions. (You know, the Builders Special No. 3 from the "Lennar: Ugly Up Your Florida Neighborhood This Spring 2005 Catalog").
For those of you who have actually purchased one of these I am both empathetic and sympathetic. The prices for single family homes have been inflated because zoning and Coconut Grove is a great neighborhood! The sympathy comes in because I suspect that some (hopefully few) of you may have purchased from builders who have little experience outside of building our oh-so-sturdy MD schools.
Regardless, it is time to have pols that prohibit building homes the same size as the actual lot in the Grove or we are going to be Hialeah with a glorified strip-mall.
