Facing a 100% increase in HOA dues is incredibly frustrating and raises valid concerns amongst homeowners. If underscores the urgent need for the HOA to transparently justify such a steep hike, detailing where these additional funds are going and how they will tangibly benefit the community. The reasoning can't be as simple as we haven't had an increase in several years. Homeowners are already struggling with rising living costs, must now stretch their budgets further, potentially sacrificing other essentials. This scenario demands a careful, transparent dialogue between the HOA and residents to foster understanding and trust, ensuring that the financial burden is shared equitably and purposefully.
As someone, who has been in the service industry for years, many of us depend on the money for living expenses and to radically change a long standing item drastically impacts the pockets of citizens.
I used to own a small business downtown, an escape room, and I’ve stayed involved in the local event and nightlife scene ever since. I care deeply about this city and the people who keep it running late into the night.
What’s happening with the 4AM licenses and the zoning changes behind it feels like a quiet plan to reshape Downtown without hearing from the people who helped build its identity. And once it’s gone, it’s not coming back.
I’m signing this because Fort Lauderdale deserves better than backroom decisions and silent erasure.
My name is Ian Lowe.
For 20+yrs I’ve worked at Original Fat Cats in Downtown Fort Lauderdale. It was clear to me my first time on 2nd St, the district had already been the late night destination for decades before me. HISTORIC. And I loved it! I started as a too scrawny young door guy and worked my way through every position a bar/restaurant could have. All the way up to now being a proud owner. I’ve seen the district’s history and significance to the city first hand.
In a Commission meeting just weeks away they will vote on a proposed restructuring of the Downtown Entertainment District. AND ONLY OUR DISTRICT. Which could take away the essential 4am closing time and ending the late night historic heart of Fort Lauderdale. Destroying many businesses and the lively hoods of so many! Meanwhile, really we are just the next step to clearing the path for giant towers in the area.
Whether you were looking for late night food, celebrating an occasion, dance at the club, listen to live music, grab a nightcap or unwind after work. Downtown and those 2-4am hours have always been there!
I ask you to please sign and share our petition! Email your Commissioners!
Save our Historic Downtown Entertainment District!!
Ft.lauderdale is one of the few places in south Florida that doesn’t sleep. These are the places where not just tourists but locals go to get away from the quiet and enjoy music and entertainment until the sun comes up, these is who we are and this is why people come here for the experience. We cannot change it, our workers who can sacrifice the time depend on their jobs to keep the spirit alive and the rest of us depend on them to keep the entertainment going. Loosing this would economically catastrophic to too many people
With cost of living exploding throughout the city and the state, the service industry workers should be able to capitalize, and live comfortably in the community they helped grow. They are a vital part of the community and should be infringed upon by the bureaucrats that were elected to serve them.
As someone, who has been in the service industry for years before coming to Fort Lauderdale, I depended on the money for living expenses and totally support and understand the idea that to radically change a long standing item drastically impacts the pockets of citizens working in the industry.
Taking away these licenses would wholly damage the culture of Fort Lauderdale that we all love and enjoy so much. Hold strong and keep these licenses in place.
As a resident of Lenox Hill @ 72nd Street/York, the overdevelopment of MSK hospitals for many years is ruining the character of the residential neighbor. Sirens galore, much more traffic, no more sunlight, years of noisy, dirty construction, and most of all, not much in return to improve our neighborhood. The greater good would be served better if they expanded into underserved neighborhoods. Community Board 8 needs to create a Land Use Strategy the would let these hospitals know if and where they can expand.
The community most impacted by the MSK Pavilion needs to have a say in 'community benefits'. I agree that the current agreement should be halted and a meaningful dialogue about how this money is to be spent can ensue.
24 Sycamores is a dreadful location with bathrooms that don't work, even after a massive renovation. Let's not invest good money after bad.
The community needs to have a say in how this money is spent!!
