Quote of the Day - Lesley Blackner

Comment Up
"Here's all you need to know about "growth management" Florida style:

1.  If the local government gives you what you want, it's called Home Rule and so very awesome!

2.  If the local yahoos don't give you what you want and you have a lot of money at stake, you go to the legislature and get a law passed for you.  Because that's what Tallahassee does: it takes care of monied, politically plugged in 'interests'.

There isn't a grand-overarching intellectual structure of land use in Florida.  There is merely politics.  If you can't get what you want through the front door, you go through the back door."
