South Beach Zoning Crisis
South Beach needs to vote for Daniel Ciraldo Group 1 this election to stop the zoning crisis.
🇺🇸 Norman Rockwell’s “Four Freedoms” and our Shared American Values
In 1941, as the world teetered on the edge of global war, President Franklin D. Roosevelt gave a State of the Union address that became one of the most defining moments of the 20th century. In it, he outlined Four Essential Freedoms that people everywhere in the world ought to enjoy: Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Worship, Freedom from Want, and Freedom from Fear.Â
Setting the Record Straight: Protecting Miami Beach’s Neighborhood Voices
Over the last several months, Miami Beach residents and neighborhood associations have been met with a pattern of complaints and sharply worded allegations from recently elected Commissioner David Suarez. These filings and statements—often framed as ethics concerns—have cast a cloud over the work of volunteers who give their free time to improve and protect our neighborhoods.
Stand Up Now for Miami Beach’s Future
Miami Beach is in a zoning crisis not seen since the 1970s. The Florida Legislature has taken away one of our most powerful safeguards — the residents’ right to vote on major development increases. Until Tallahassee stepped in, any significant zoning change beyond current limits required voter approval. Now that protection is gone, and neither the City of Miami Beach nor key civic groups have challenged this loss in court.

Defiende Ahora el Futuro de Miami Beach
Miami Beach enfrenta una crisis de zonificaciĂłn como no se habĂa visto desde la dĂ©cada de 1970. La Legislatura de Florida ha eliminado una de nuestras protecciones más importantes: el derecho de los residentes a votar sobre aumentos significativos en el desarrollo.
Hasta que intervino Tallahassee, cualquier cambio importante de zonificaciĂłn que superara los lĂmites actuales requerĂa la aprobaciĂłn de los votantes. Ahora esa protecciĂłn ha desaparecido, y ni la Ciudad de Miami Beach ni los principales grupos cĂvicos han impugnado esta pĂ©rdida ante los tribunales.
Why I Oppose the “David Suarez Height Increases” In our Historic Districts
Commissioner David Suarez is dead-set to increase heights and density in our city’s historic districts. His cure for Lincoln Road and Washington Avenue – just build more, taller, bigger, and more luxurious. A bit different from what he pitched us all when he first ran for office two years ago… but, not shocking to those who know him.
