He only wants it under the assumption there will still be no fares and will somehow pay for itself.

Incorrect. I’m perfectly fine with the Metromover being a fare ride. I don’t want it free, I just want it functional.

Would you agree to a fare the reflected fairness and equity?

Meaning, would you agree to a fare that covered the Operational Expenses divided by the number or riders per year PLUS the Capital Expenditure costs amortized over 50 years at SOFR divided by the number of annual riders?

Do you have any clue what a Metromover ticket would cost if that were the case on the existing lines?

Apply the same logic to all the “free” roads you drive on & argue to make every road a for-profit toll road then

Judging by how much they spent for the land, there’s little to no chance any of this ends up being “attainable”

And the jobs in the area starts at $14/hr when you need $28/hr to halfway live normal

Those $14/hour jobs are not meant to be a lifelong career.

Very true.
Minimum wages are earned by minimum experience and minimum skill.

Once you get some experience and some skill, you should not be making minimum wage.

Further, if you want a nice apartment and you haven’t visited any of the free public libraries in town in the last 5 years, go get a roommate or 4.

Affordability seems to go over the heads of developers and the city government more and more every day, so it’s good to see that there are still developers who see the value of it (if they don’t change their minds and make the project $2 million boutique apartments, considering it is Wynwood)

Miami shouldn’t only consist of Luxury homes we need affordable housing options for the working ppl

But not in the in-demand areas like this. Affordable housing should be placed where it is cheapest to build.

Oh please. We know you’re new here, but do you have to be stupid, too? Wynwood was not gentrified at all. It was formerly a warehouse district, almost zero residents. Wynwood Norte, on the other hand (which translates to Wynwood North — I know Spanish is probably knew to you, also), has NOT been gentrifies as it hasn’t even been touched by development yet. Please take a stroll through there and report back as to whether it feels ‘gentrified’.

I work in the industry and I can tell you thats only partially true. We are in this crisis because for decades municipalities have artificially limited density in their zoning codes and parking requirements. The problem has surpassed our ability to deal with it. To be fair this is happening all over North America, not just Miami. No improvement is possible until municipalities and the citizenry make it a priority to allow market driven development at a city wide level. What’s happening in Wynwod Norte should really be expanded along all the different transit corridors within the City of Miami.

It’s not artificial. There are calculations that go into whether certain uses or densities can be supported by existing infrastructure. Zoning isn’t as arbitrary as most people think. Don’t conflate NIMBYism with zoning and land use.

Interesting.. Wonder how many people that currently live there today — and will have to leave — probably never to find housing in the area again will find this “attainable?”

Neighborhoods change. Nobody has the right to occupy a specific area forever, especially those of us who don’t own our homes. Let’s keep making Miami more beautiful and expanding the tax coffers for the benefit of ALL.

You’re not wrong, but a counterpoint is that it does negatively affect those that are 1st time home buyers. You pretty much need to make $100k/yr minimum to buy even a rundown 1 bedroom condo in Miami-Dade. The solid majority of the workforce makes under that. “Let’s keep making Miami more beautiful” will lead to it being a $200k/yr minimum within a few more years.

Except when first time home buyers want to live in Wynwood at Hialeah prices.

You said it. To benefit all!! The wealthy will never have problems (economy problems, they haveplenty of others) But The wealthy cannot have their lavish lifestyle without the service employees. On the other hand, Places don’t have to be luxurious to be beautiful.

Right….wealthy people will never have economic problems.
Because the minute that they start having economic problems they are no longer defined as wealthy.

People move throughout economic levels in a lifetime.
For example, my net worth when I graduated High school was positive. However, that changed fast beginning my freshman year in college, when my net worth turned negative for a couple decades.

Thank goodness that I was a service employee at night to pay off student loans, and thank goodness no one ever convinced me that buying real estate was unattainable.

Funny all the cities that try to fight developments to keep housing for those who are already there don’t become attainable but instead become unaffordable to pretty much everyone. Not to mention there are like 3-4 house holds on that lot I’m sure the developer will build 10 times as many units so more people get to enjoy the area.

Attainable is a sliding scale. Aston Martin residences are “attainable” to someone with a $50,000,000 net worth.

All development should be market rate. The market should determine what is attainable and for whom.

For everyone wondering about attainability, there’s a section in Miami 21 about mixed attainable income housing. To get bonus incentives, you have to qualify by providing a mixture of units at various income levels certified by the City. Assuming that’s what they’re referring to, at least 80% of all units have to be available at 60% area median income. Wynwood Norte has separate income requirements for bonus incentives, so it depends on if they’re going by the citywide mixed income attainable or the Wynwood Norte specific affordable housing public benefits.

It’s literally a block away from Wynwood’s center. Hopefully the developer takes the opportunity and builds something nice to transition to the single-family/small apartment house areas, and not another half parking podium, half jailhouse-looking box.

Why would we want single-family homes in the urban core? Do you think that would help our housing/affordability situation?
