Approximately 15 years ago, my wife and I fell in love with Delray Beach and purchased a condo — which my family enjoys so much.
Unfortunately, the ongoing development projects are massively destroying what was once a wonderful respite from busy city life. You can no longer easily drive down Atlantic Avenue at night, particularly if in search of a parking space. Actually a restaurant parking valet waved me on — unable to park my car on one evening.
The town is becoming way overcrowded and yet the building projects continue to mushroom in quantity and size.
We should encourage this out-of-control development to move to other locales.
What is our City Commission thinking? Again I ask, are they beholden to the developers?
What we once loved about Delray is being destroyed! I beg City Commission to wake up. Enough is enough! If other citizens feel the same way I do, please help by speaking up.

  • Delray Beach is well past the saturation point but greed keeps overdevelopment going on.
