Meeting tonight

Gary Hecht, the Chair of the Village Council, has put a great issue on tonight's meeting agenda. He wants to stop the selling off of the Grove to developers and wants to stop the proliferation of McMansions and zero property lines.

The meeting at 6:30 at the Glasshouse on McFarlane, at Peacock Park. You know, the NET office.

Commissioner Marc Sarnoff is already looking into this issue and now is your chance to talk back and state your concerns about this overdevelopment and greed proliferating all over the Grove.

Gary is just upset he can't and his partner Sylvia can't get a piece of the McMansion and highrise development as part of their real estate business.

If the Related group waved some money in front of their noses to represent one of these projects, you would see a 180º on the Village Council's position.

In all honesty, this is just speculation/fantasy & my sarcasm. I don't know Gary and I am sure he is an honorable guy, but I have to laugh at all the Grove hippies who rant & rave about development and are certain evil corporations like the Related group and Haliburton are always behind the most sinister plots in our community and our country.

This is a capitalist nation and we live in one of the most affluent communities in this nation created by capitalism. I shouldn't be, but I am still astounded at the number of people who bite the hand that feeds them.

Development brings change some good and some bad, but humanity was designed to progress.

Now, that I have throughly placed enough gas on this fire, I will light the match and sign off.

PS Get off my cloud, man!

Can someone please take the bottle of booze away from "it"; "it" may hurt itself.

Many of the Grove's original homes were on small lots and some are even zero lot line homes. Just because a few people want to keep the Grove as an expensive places with only huge estates doesn't mean we should do that.

Small and zero lot line homes can be nicer than some of the other homes in the Grove.

I'm getting tired of all of the government constraints preventing citizens from doing anything unless they have some board's approval.

I'm glad the issue is getting notice. This Grove "village" is starting to look like West Kendall. Our single-family neighborhoods are being destroyed by these massive over-sized boxes that tower over our homes and block out the sky and tree-lines. Imagine having a 40 foot cement wall 5 feet from your beautiful grove home and you see someone's bathroom window 20 feet off the ground. Not pretty! We have culture to preserve and a quality of life that should not degrade with the con developers call "progress".
