Population Faction Breakdown?

[cityimrov]

Has anyone here done a population breakdown of Jax of the different factions?  

Here's two examples of what I'm looking for:

Growth Faction: From what I see people in Downtown, Riverside, 5-points, San Marco, Southside, Mandarin, and Deerwood are pretty much for strong city growth.  That includes building a lot of infrastructure to improve our city to make huge - transit, rail, etc.  Most people on MetroJacksonville probably belong here. 

Large City - Small Town Faction:  There's also a huge portion of the population  who's for not increasing taxes, not increasing development, and basically leave Jacksonville the way it is.  In a way, a large city which is composed of a lot of "Small Town America".  Basically, they are happy the way the city is, a small town with some big city infrastructure.  

I'm pretty sure there are more factions around town but has anyone done a study of these factions, how big they are, how many of them vote, who they vote for, how vocal they are, etc?

Jax is a different beast than most cities. All of Duval county is thrown in together for richer or poorer. That includes jobs, schools, roads, government size, crime, and any other topic you can think of, growth one of them. Some would have us go bankrupt to pay for school systems that, imo, are not held accountable for the money spent. Same can be said for the City expansion of government.

One thing I do know is that with all the talk and hubbub of a transportation center or light rail or HSR, there really is no money for Jacksonville for this, and what is worse, most of the politicians, privately, do not care about rail in Jacksonville. The only ones who do post on the MJ.

I'd rather see growth of businesses which, imo, will lead to more growth of residents downtown and restaurants. 2500 people downtown is not enough, West Palm has closer to 10,000 and they have seen restaurants grow and expand in their core, just got back from there, they tore out the old public library along the bay and are replacing it with an area for outdoor concerts with a reception hall that can be rented out.

Money has a lot to do with growth plans, we don't have as much as other cities in Florida, so we suffer more with what we can collect. We also lack a concrete long term plan for growth and management. We seem to find just enough votes, 57-43 percent to pass large construction projects (BJP), but we cannot find enough money to fix the problematic parks or streams (Hogan's).

We have a real identity problem still in NE Florida.
