Tonight (Wednesday Nov 1st) P&Z will be deciding if Banyan Court Developers will be allowed to build an 85, low income, unit on N. A street between 3rd and 4th Ave North.
Highland Elementary School is already over capacity. Add to that all the High School and Middle School students that travel along N. A to school, that dense of a development spells disaster.
We need people at the meeting to let these developers know what a mistake they are making. The meeting is at Lake Worth City Hall at 6:00pm. Hope you can attend.
Why don't they build it on Lucerne Ave on that vacant lot between N E ST and N D St, maybe it will make that area look better and Lucerne Ave is a wider road to handle the traffic better? Maybe that slum owner that owned that land can make a few million on the deal too. Lake Worth is like all low income housing mostly, this is all going to just make it even worse in the city, they should try to focus on some upscale living, but no one wants to live in a slum anymore, so it is all rentals there now. What is going to become of Lake Worth? The blight, crime, rentals, and illegals, it is a recipe that has been a disaster for years now. The city looks like hell!
ReplyDeleteWe don't need more low income housing in Lake Worth. Almost our whole city is low income. Let them go to Palm Beach,or Delray or Palm Beach Gardens or almost any other town in our county that really needs low income housing
ReplyDeleteFirst the Pot shops ,now more slums. This Commission is really fuc$ing up our town.

We should move the illegals and low income people west of 95 and bring the residents into the vacated cute bungalow, townhouses and apartment that were recently built. Who really considers lake Osborne, Murray hills, ect lake Worth anyways, put people in those apartments and the police can keep a better eye on them. Crime will go down and blight will be eliminated, traffic will be better becouse we have a walkable downtown, Publix, restaurants, shops.
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun to have a total AZZ comment here.
ReplyDeleteIf the city allows more of this low income housing then there will just be more white flight, who the hell will want to even live here in this city are area anymore. You know, I have gotten to the point that I do not care if people think I am a racist or a bigot, I just won't go to some Publix like the one in Lantana by I95 or most Wendy's and certain places that hire mostly Haitians. The reason why is that most are horrible when they have to wait on you. Mostly Wendy's are so bad and then the attitude and making you wait forever. Call me a racist or whatever, I do not care, I will not go to Wendy's here, a lot of places in Boynton Beach that have mostly Haitians working in the restaurants and shops, World Thrift on Sat with all those crazy Latinos and Haitians, or the WPB gyms with all those Cubans, Cubans in the gyms here will never breakdown their weights, clean up after themselves or think of others. Now I understand better the idea of White Flight and why it happens. It is happen now with me and with many here in this area we live in. I and fed up with the poor service and how we are treated, so I just won't go to these places anymore. If I am racist because I won't go to Wendy's anymore because it is all Haitians working there, and service is always bad, well so be it, I guess I am, I just won't do it. I am tired of the inferiority complexes from all these immigrants here. So insecure and treat people like crap, enough is enough. No more!
ReplyDeleteMaybe residents west of I-95 should really consider going back to the county. What in the hell are we paying to live in the "great " city of Lake Worth for anyway?Evey service we pay Lake Worth for we could get from the county.What bang for our buck is Lake Worth giving us west of I-95? We don't have any city maintained parks or medians to hang our Christmas decorations in like those very special people east of Federal do. We don't have a neighborhood gym for our kids to play in.We don't have city sponsored day care centers for our kids. We don't have tennis courts,golf courses,ball fields or playgrounds.We have the crappiest roads in the city.In fact the only thing the city has done for us is to try to completely ruin any quality of life that we have over here. (Destroying John Prince Park for the benefit of the owners of the Atlanta Braves. Trying to put stupid,inappropriate ,poorly planned rental slum condos in the middle of a single family neighborhood over here). So,if asked,would our residents like to live in the county or the disaster of Lake Worth? I'm willing to bet that 100% would say "get us the hell out of Lake Worth". I'm sure our property values would immediately go up.
ReplyDelete7:07pm and many Hatiens are the worst drivers in the world. No brain and a sense of entitlement. I had my first accident after many years of driving in several states and countries when a hatien female drove til she ran out of gas on Forest Hill in heavy traffic with speeders driving like a race course. 5 car pile up and she wasn't touched.
ReplyDeleteSo Lynn did this new development pass last night? Will LW have more low income housing in the blighted west side?
ReplyDeleteHave no clue...I was listening on line and then it cut off.
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that you have strong feelings about our federal government but we need strong feelings about our local corrupt government. Have you seen the traffic on 10th Avenue now. It is totally ridiculous. We do not have the infrastructure to support any more building in this city until we can control the traffic we already have. I can only imagine what it would have looked like had they built the stadium. And then we have the Quartet of Trilo,Maxwell, Amaroso, and Hardy. They do not care about any of the residents of this city unless they have money to support the Quartet's dreams.
