La Quinta Inn Property Contaminated. What did they Know?

The Community Newspaper has done an investigation into the La Quinta Inn property that the Homeless Trust wants to use as a homeless residential facility. The article shows contaminants located on the property from an old dry cleaners. It's a very interesting article with links to the reports. Did the county know about this and if they did, why didn't the public?

The Miami-Dade County Commission voted on Tuesday to move forward with the purchase of the La Quinta Inn on Caribbean Drive in Cutler Bay. Ron Book, the combative chair of the Homeless Trust spoke forcefully about the need to find a place to house the growing unsheltered elderly population. The proc...

The homeless trust item goes back to the administration but it’s up to our commissioner as to if it comes for a vote. Watch the video for more information

Post by Liveablecutler: “We seldom delve into non environmental issues. But with this there is a tie in to the environment. #1 when dense development is put in the right places, like the Southland Mall area and US1 it can help keep overdevelopment out of neighborhoods and helps preserve open area. This homeless facility threatens the redevelopment of the Southland Mall area. #2. Bringing more homeless persons from other parts of Miami-Dade County to Cutler Bay, because they don’t want them is the ultimate in NIMBY. A few months ago, two homeless persons set up an encampment in one of our areas under ecological restoration. Here is what was damaged: native plants planted and nurtured by volunteers were cleared from an area around 20x20 ft., the plants ripped out by the roots and used for firewood, rocks from the path edges were removed and used for a campfire, branches broken off trees for firewood, trash thrown around the encampment, human f***s, clothes found in various areas of the restoration, damage by fire to the picnic table, and had the campfire gotten out of control an uncontrolled burn of the area could have happened doing significant damage.

We are accused of NIMBY by the head of the Homeless Trust but nothing is more NIMBY than other municipalities where they are trying to get rid of their homeless problem sending it 25 miles south to us. And Cutler Bay has never said we are opposed to a homeless facility in the town just not in the redevelopment zone of Southland Mall.

But by the grace of luck, fate, or whatever bad things in life that happen to people to cause them to be homeless you or I are not there. It is not about the homeless being less than you or I. They are people, and they deserve help and compassion. But the way this had been pushed on Cutler Bay is dead wrong. Please let your voices be heard, with compassion and respect.”

If You Don't Want The Cutler Bay La Quinta Inn Turned Into Homeless Housing -You Must Act Now.

The County Commission are expected to vote on the purchase of the La Quinta Inn to be turned into homeless housing. The vote takes place on Tuesday, May 7th.

This project by the County threatens the redevelopment of Southland Mall and the thousands of local jobs that would be created by that redevelopment. Lenders for the 1.5 billion dollar project at the mall are concerned about this homeless housing being built, and could pull or reduce funding to the mall project.

In addition, it goes against the Charrette which the county commission approved in 2002 which has been the foundation of our zoning and planning of the US-1 corridor since Cutler Bay incorporated.

This facility would house the chronically homeless (As stated in the County Budget for this project) which includes former felons; persons with mental disabilities, or who are dealing with alcohol and/or drug abuse. Ron Book states that 60% of the residents will be 55 and over.

Please send emails to each of the County Commission members asking them to vote "no" on this proposal.

Great, adding incentives to cram more and more people into our neighborhoods without additional roadways, police, waste disposal, and other necessary services. Why buy a single family home when your neighbors may have two or three families, multiple cars and increased noise.

Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava agrees to provide incentives to homeowners and multifamily property owners to increase the inventory of affordable rentals to persons making $57,800 and below through offering “0” and Low-Interest loans to construct, rehab and renovate low-income rental units. The Mayor also agreed to include funding for Additional Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing (NOAH) in the Fiscal Year 2025 budget. (Photo Credit: Savannah Toney)

A proposal calls for converting a La Quinta Inn into apartments.

23/04/2024

Ron Book resorts to name calling Cutler Bay residents who want answers and assurances about La Quinta Inn being made into homeless apartments. Says 65% would be seniors. Who would be the other 35%?

A Miami-Dade Homeless Trust plan to convert hotel rooms near the Southland Mall into affordable housing units is moving forward, much to the chagrin of at least some Cutler Bay residents and officials.
