Stop the Mercy Hospital greedy project
Grove residents (the ones who are not in The Related Group's pocket), want this stopped. Jorge Perez, the developer says the huge project will not affect anyone. He says no one can see it from South Bayshore Drive. Know what? I live next door and will see it every single day. Except I will be moving from the Grove for good if this is allowed.
I don't want to live in a place that would allow this. Especially since the only reasoning is money. There is no other rational reason. And I assume that every Miami Commissioner that allows this is on the take. I am just assuming this because I can't understand any other reason for saying "yes" on this piece of shit that is being thrust on our quiet neighborhood.
People -- take note of who approves the project tonight. Their fate will be the same as Linda Haskins. If that didn't prove to the City and County that people are fed up, then nothing else will.
If this project is approved, it is just the beginning of the end. We will all have to deal with non-stop traffic, especially during the long construction period. Picture dozens of dump trucks and workers entering the small area daily. Picture trying to maneuver through South Bayshore Drive or trying to get to Mercy Hospital. Picture US1 trying to accept the traffic overflow, which will be impossible.
PICTURE YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE AND YOUR PROPERTY VALUES GOING DOWN, DOWN, DOWN
Picture non-stop work crews after the project is built -- coming and going to work on the units, one-by-one. Picture traffic on South Bayshore Drive now and especially at rush hour in the morning and evening. Now picture hundreds of cars added to the mix -- all because Mercy Hospital is greedy and all because The Related Group is greedy and does not care about quality of life.
What is to stop The Related Group from taking over the whole area piece by piece and having the whole area turn into it's own little city -- with no special water or sewer system, with no regard to traffic, or quality of life and huge shadows blocking out sun from the neighbors who have been living under legal zoning rules for years.
Is Jorge Perez going to pay everyone for the loss of their property value because of this horrible project?
If this project is approved, I may sue the City and the Commissioners who approved it. When the Grovenor house was allowed, they said this would never happen again. Let's hope they didn't lie. Let's hope we don't have to sue, which may be good since it may tie up the project forever. Let's see.

Jorge Perez and Related sure bought off dozens and dozens of people. Too bad their projects cannot stand on their merits. Hopefully someone will appeal. Anyone see what a great job John Lucas did for the opposition?
I saw Mr. Lucas at the Commission hearing. He did a great job. So did all the residents who opposed the up-zoning. I felt the Commissioners who voted in favor of the up-zoning could care less about the Grove village. They did not have a grasp of the issue. They fixated on Mercy Hospital's failing business model and talked about problems in their districts that had nothing to do with the issue at hand. I felt that they were jealous that District 2 is so much nicer then their districts. I felt that they wanted to stick it to District 2.
Opponent John Lukas did great.
Spence-Jones who voted yes to permit the rezoning spit on the Grove and on Dist 2. She should appreciate who funds everything within Dist 5, her district. She could consider someone elses quality of life, not just her own.
