I'd love to see a Jacksonville video like that just for a laugh. I know Jason has made some wonderful renderings in the past, but I think most of those are dormant or cancelled now.  For the proposed, I wonder how legit they are. For a jax video would the shipyards and landing redevelopment fall into the proposed category, or does an actual building design need to be completed??

Wouldn't hurt to have a little more green space in Miami.

I'm not sure what's the exact criteria for a building proposal, either way to me generally they are crap shoots.

Miami is super green.  I don't think it needs more greenspace - quite the contrary actually.  It needs to stop building podium garages and dead space, more buildings built to the curb, etc etc.
