The obvious question for those in South Dade: When will the Redland and Redland Edge incorporation drives spin up again? It appears area residents "just want to be left alone" as some have said at the two Homestead Annexation Workshops this month. However, "left alone" is a luxury we can ill afford in a county ran by construction and developer interests. Being proactive is a better approach as it will assert a desire to determine the areas' future. If "agri-dential" is the latest Urban Dictionary term then so be it, but the Redland and Redland Edge areas will have to fight for it. Homestead residents have a bias for our agricultural communities for many aspire to moving out west of Krome away from zero lot lines and Homeowners Associations (HOAs). The city and these soon to be towns have shared interests and common goals. Together we can impress upon the BCC the need for a common sense approach to incorporation in South Miami-Dade that will allow for the residents to preserve their way of life in an agricultural setting.
