Aesop, I'm not sure how much the city spent on the recent annexation process and straw vote. What puzzles me is why the city did not post informative news, facts and information for all the residents to be informed. This is an important issue . Many of us are concerned about over building. The county, if requested, can upzone much of the area for Highrise, and the Gables will be powerless to stop it. Just look at the highrise at the Douglass Metro Station. it exceeds Miami's zoning and Miami protested to no avail. This can happen in the Little Gables. The Little Gables is a small pocket in the county surrounded by two cities, and serves as our Le June "front door." George Merrick tried to buy the land and include it in the 1920s. Its been a City priority since. If we are going to have an election, even a "straw vote" why would the city not educate the voters about the issue?
