Hate Shack, Not Where It's At

In the first place, Gloria and Emilio Estaban love Miami Beach so much THEY SOLD THEIR PROPERTIES THERE and ARE INVESTING THEIR MONEY IN A NEW ESTATE IN VERO BEACH, INDIAN RIVER COUNTY which boasts NO JEWS, NO HISPANICS, NO BLACKS, and definitely NO CORRUPT CITY COMMISSSION LIKE MIAMI BEACH.

In the second place, and it's a small point, although there is a HUGE, BLOATED, politically active CIP OFFICE, to further bloat the Administration, City Manager Jorge Gonzalez has created PUBLIC WORKS COORDINATORS in MANY DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS, so that Miss Alemany is simple "one of hundreds" as the saying went in the days of old Boss Tweed, Jorge Gonzalez's Patron Saint and inspiration in Public Service (to himself).

And, YES, the Life Guard Towers are TACKY, but, hey, with Mad Matti Bower as the "Preservationist" on the Miami Beach City Commission unability assisted by property developer and converter of affordable rentals to millionaire condos Sold Out Saul Gross, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?

Let's be honest, the preservationists were pushed off the Beach about 1997-1998, and what is left is what you have if the toilet doesn't flush well.

By the way, we don't have a Miami Design Preservation League in Germany, but all the Art Deco and historic buildings are kept up to date, preserved, and still in use. You should see the renovations of the Lowenturm on the Rindermarkt in Zentrum, the 13th century part of Muenchen. Maybe first you have kick the MDPL out of town before you can restore Art Deco to the Beach - starting with Victor Diaz, Dennis Wilhelm, Randall Robinson, and the rest of that crowd.
