Looking for Real Info, Not Rants - Let’s Keep It Constructive

Hey people— I’m hoping to spark a productive and actionable convo around flooding and drainage in Miami. I know most threads here tend to spiral into rants or nostalgia for “the Miami that used to be” — but this post isn’t about that.

What I’m genuinely looking for is insider insight or firsthand knowledge:

• Have you attended any city or neighborhood planning meetings?
• Do you know what departments or individuals are leading the charge on drainage/infrastructure issues?
• Are there actual long-term plans in place — even if they’re 10, 15, 20 years out?

I’m not here to debate overdevelopment, millionaires, or New Yorkers — those are valid topics, but not for this thread. I’m also not looking for conspiracy theories or doom-posting. I’m a local just trying to understand what’s really happening on a city planning level so we can think ahead and maybe even get involved.

If you’ve got a valid perspective that is based on your attendance to any meetings, or things that you have physically read, can you direct me to this?
