Build to the sky, says West Palm Beach

Comment Up

We know politicians want to build higher and even to the sky and change ordinances to allow it. If there is an ordinance on the books--so what?  They just vote to change it. You have to wonder why they don't respect laws and don't respect the vote of the people. But it could be worse--we could have West Palm Beach's city council.

Read what they did... allowing developers to build as high as 25 stories for an office or hotel, and as high as 30 stories in a 5 story district by voting to amend their development regulations.

A city doesn't have a chance with officials like this. It usually is done on a political vote and developers know exactly who to woo.  In the case of West Palm Beach, every single commissioner voted to approve. And every single commissioner needs to be kicked off the dais.

Mitchell is gone but she won't shut up.

Lake Worth's is just as bad. I honestly believe that this commission is as corrupt as they come.

Pam Triolo, Scott Maxwell and Andy Amoroso know that the people do NOT approve of what they are doing.What Szerdi did with Hudson Holdings while he was a Commissioner was certainly out of the Sunshine.
