Downtown has, and will always, be the first to feel the effects of city government decsions, good, bad or indifferent. The further a community is removed from the city's focus (sometimes the city having their eyes focused on a part of town is not a good thing), the less likely they are to care. Meaning, 'if it doesn't affect me, what do I care' is the mentality.
I'm glad that this became an issue and has opened the eyes of yet another group of people in our city. I wish it didn't have to happen at the expense of their community, but glad nontheless.
As an FSU alum, I can tell you the medical school is right on campus, not in Daytona. Not sure what you are referring to with that one.

Ok, I totally forgot about that part of it. Thank you for the clarification.
Of course it didn't come to Jax. The Gators in this town wanted no part of it :)
I can clearly recall Gainesville complaining about a possible FSU Medical School in Jax.
They do the same everytime a Law School wants to open here as well.
