Significant blight reduction will only come when the incentives for smart, creative infill are far greater than the benefits developers (like Boulos and the Ghazvinis) reap after they clearcut forests and fill in wetlands to their greedy heart’s delight.

I first suspected that keeping track of these buildings could enable the city to also keep track of where vagrants were. I’ve read the city has sent people out to locate and do counts of them, so this would make some sense if that were the case.

I’m so tired of the the city’s use of the word “vibrant.” It’s either a meaningless buzzword or a coded implication of more concrete, gaudy art. I’d prefer it to mean letting things turn green. But I get the feeling certain commissioners would rather spend on giving our city a more urban aesthetic.

Florida Senate President Kathleen Passidomo has said, vacant buildings should be turned into low income housing because we all should have to live with all the crime that come with that.

I agree, what is the City doing about crime. As government continues to raise our taxes, we all will turn to crime just to make ends meet.

It looks like the City Commission has a “friend” who needs a nice high paying do-nothing job with the city. For certain it’ll pay well over $100,000 a year. All at the taxpayer’s expense.

Perhaps they’ll be looking for a DOPE – Director Of Property Enhancement.

There’s already a pretty good property database owned and operated by the Property Appraiser’s office. Instead of reinventing the wheel, work with that office to include the functionality you want and/or need. That can be done in less than a month with existing staff. But that doesn’t really let the city spend money ad nauseum, does it?

Usually, Foreclosed Property that is sold is usually bought by a Contractor or Developer who is going to Rehab it or tear it down and build New so, why waste you time on these Properties?
