I'm not a fan of this project at all. In my opinion, it's a hideous eyesore, and instead of being buried in the sea of high rises, it's right in the center of the city and in the middle of the Bay!

And now you're telling me that some public transportation funding is going to be used for this? I think most of the actual residents in South Florida would prefer a more extensive metrorail system with modern facilites. Especially since the prices are going up with not much new to show for it.

Agreed and now the stupid Mayor is YET again asking for ANOTHER 10 percent cut in county workers pay., cutting services and reduction of services... But we have money for THIS!

Seriously this is beyond ridiculous, and really beginning to **** people off. Why not let the developer of this project just charge fees to the viewing tower, why does MD have to give ANYTHING to this project.

At least locals will actually go to a stadium and interact with each other/buy stuff (if the team is doing well haha)

But I can't imagine many of us who actually live South Florida 365 days a year going crazy over this oversized hair-grip

It is more of a touristy thing like the Eiffel Tower, however with extra amenities.

I have to see this Bungee jumping, I have to read more on this as I have I believe they will jump off the 600-foot level, maybe they stated simulated.
