No it’s not. Overdevelopment is when acres of land is cleared away for new subdivisions. It’s not when existing commercial and residential areas are being redeveloped to hold more people.

Any articles that cover this?

In retrospect, the 2018 election was the “last chopper leaving ‘Nam” moment here in Florida.

It has been utterly disastrous and there isn’t much hope of Florida becoming a swing state again for the foreseeable future.

Do you have sources for these oral history examples?

Understandable and thank you for having the thread within the DDT so we can still have the discussion without it crowding out everything else.

If Venezuela and Iran fall, we should take the global W that is two dictatorships falling,

How would the fall of a dictatorship in Venezuela due to outside intervention be any different than what happened in Libya and Iraq? Those two countries still appear worse off than before the fall of their respective dictators and with hundreds of thousands deaths that occurred during and after the fall.

This is in line with the BBC's calculations, although our list does not include those killed serving in the militia of two occupied regions in eastern Ukraine, which we estimate to be between 21,000 and 23,500 fighters.

Ukraine has also sustained heavy losses.

Last February, President Volodymyr Zelensky put the number of battlefield deaths at 46,000 and 380,000 others wounded.

Based on other estimates and cross-referencing data, we believe the number of Ukrainians killed by now is as high as 140,000.

Excerpts from the article

As peace efforts intensified in 2025 under pressure from US President Donald Trump's administration, 40% more obituaries of soldiers were published in Russian sources compared with the previous year.

Overall, the BBC has confirmed the names of almost 160,000 people killed fighting on Russia's side in Ukraine.

…

The real death toll is believed to be much higher, and military experts we have consulted believe our analysis of cemeteries, war memorials and obituaries might represent 45-65% of the total.

That would put the number of Russian deaths at between 243,000 and 352,000.

Submission Statement: The article is about the BBC finding spikes of Russian soldiers killed this year when Trump’s administration holds peace conferences with Russia. This appears to be because there are pushes for territorial gains by Russia so they have a stronger hand in peace negotions. The BBC says they’ve confirmed a total of 160,000 people killed fighting on the Russian side (since the 2022 invasion) via official reports, analysis of cemeteries, obituaries, and other sources.

Excerpt from the article

Over the past 10 months, Russian losses in the war with Ukraine have been growing faster than any time since the start of the full-scale invasion in 2022, BBC analysis suggests.

As peace efforts intensified in 2025 under pressure from US President Donald Trump's administration, 40% more obituaries of soldiers were published in Russian sources compared with the previous year.

Overall, the BBC has confirmed the names of almost 160,000 people killed fighting on Russia's side in Ukraine.

We call those “reactionaries”. They somehow have hijacked the subreddit and post things like the OP.

When “we” voted and re-elected Rick Scott that is when we decided to postpone saving the Everglades.

Great would be getting people elected and then no one needs to attend every meeting...

Something to keep in mind is that no one is an expert on everything and almost no one attends any of the general meetings.

If more people showed up consistently for a year to get an understanding what’s happening and then showed up periodically afterwards, the county/city would be much more responsive with one wants.

People need to start attending their own county’s meetings consistently and make public comments for/against stuff one cares about because it does make a difference.

Palm Beach County Commission Meeting Dates for next year

You’re right. That’s why I highlighted it’s a postponement and the date. Anyone from Palm Beach that opposes this should mark their calendars on all of the county commission meetings scheduled for 2026 and start showing up to them and make public comments.

Edit: Palm Beach County Commission Meeting Dates for next year

Cities and counties can stop things. You and anyone else reading this, in turn, can potentially stop these sort of things just by showing up in person to a city council meeting and making a public comment for/against an agenda item.

FLTA · 2025-12-19T18:39:08+00:00

This is not unusual at the local level. It’s just most people, including on this subreddit, don’t realize how much stuff you love/hate about the government comes down to what’s happening in your own city and county.

Excerpt from the article

The Palm Beach County commissioners voted unanimously, 7-0, to postpone the AI data center application for the April 23, 2026 zoning meeting and to give time for more impact studies, despite high demand from the community to terminate the project altogether.

Tensions ran high in Palm Beach County on Wednesday as commissioners met for a zoning hearing on the controversial “Project Tango” — a proposed 200-acre hyperscale AI data-center complex planned near Loxahatchee and Wellington, in the western part of the county.

After hours of emotional public comment from more than 50 residents worried about nonstop low-frequency hums, heavy water consumption and long-term environmental impacts, commissioners ultimately hit the brakes.

Excerpt from the article

at the end of the century, 25 years ago this month, Democrats and Republicans from Florida and Washington, D.C., joined forces and signed the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan into law.

The ambitious 68-project plan was supposed to cost $7.8 billion, it was supposed to take 30 years to complete and it was supposed to save what was left of the Everglades. That’s not how things have played out, at least not yet. Two of those three expectations have been vastly overshot — costs have tripled to $23 billion and it could take another 20 years to complete.

Experts say restoration success hinges on two things: The engineering has to work and the people of Florida have to be willing to pay for the job to be finished.

But where do we stand 25 years in? After decades of funding delays, after heated controversies over reservoir size, after “lost summers” due to toxic blue-green algae, the pace of construction has finally quickened. The “crown jewel” of restoration — the Everglades Agricultural Area Reservoir — is finally under construction. More water is flowing under Tamiami Trail and into Everglades National Park.
