I was chatting this morning with a friend who is a retired professional investor, having been previously involved in the management of $billions (not as the ultimate fund manager, but in a pretty senior role). A staunch Democrat and an active trader of his own portfolio (using exotic techniques such as “selling premium”, shorting a leveraged ETF while being long the unleveraged index, etc.), he was predicting doom and gloom for the U.S. economy due to Republican incompetence and stupidity. The stock market would continue to go down and we would suffer a depression. He cited the example of George W. Bush ladling out $700 billion to Wall Street in 2008 because “it was the right thing for the American People” and contrasted to Donald Trump, who wasn’t even trying to do anything right for Americans. I disputed that “Americans” was a meaningful term because the owner of an apartment building has different interests than the renter of an apartment. More substantially, I took the position that someone, maybe us, would blink first and mostly everything would return to the previous status quo. Therefore, I argued there was no need to do anything other than perhaps invest any available cash into the S&P 500.
The call in which my friend implicitly advised me to sell everything began at 10:12 am. What happened later in the day? NBC:
President Donald Trump said Wednesday he was pausing higher targeted tariffs for 90 days for most countries, a stunning reversal in his trade war that has sent markets reeling.
Trump wrote on social media just before 1:30 p.m. that he came to the decision because more than 75 trading partners didn’t retaliate and have reached out to the United States to “discuss” some of the issues he had raised.
Coral Gables, Florida is supposedly the nation’s second planned city, after Washington, D.C., and the model for most subsequent planned communities around the country, including the HOA idea. Bubble in the Sun book: even those with the best information can’t predict a crash gives some background on the early 1920s Florida real estate boom (followed by a spectacular 1926 bust) in which Coral Gables was created.
We took the faithful Honda Odyssey down there for a two-night stay during the Palm Beach County Public Schools spring break (perhaps the first time that the valets at the Loews hotel had seen a minivan; it’s not that I merit staying at any Loews, but the Hiltons and Marriotts nearby were up to nearly the same price).
the commercial roads in and around residential neighborhoods don’t have a landscape buffer between the strip mall parking lots and the road (driving around the main roads of Jupiter, by contrast, one mostly sees trees, grass, flowers, and shrubs because the strip malls are hidden behind 20′-wide green margins)
no consistent architectural style has been imposed on commercial buildings, many of which are generic modern structures
no consistent architectural style has been imposed on single-family homes, either; one might see a modern house, a Spanish Colonial Revival house, a Georgian style mini-White House, etc. There aren’t any hurricane-proof standing seam metal roofs, but neither is there a lot of consistency among the tile roofs that are apparently mandated. Some are Spanish-style barrel tile. Some are flat tile. Abacoa has a variety of house styles, but each style is pinned to one neighborhood within the larger development.
powerlines are often above ground, unlike in newer Florida developments
there aren’t alleys behind the houses to hide the garages so a lot of houses “meet the street” with a big ugly garage door. Even worse, the number of cars per household is far larger than architects of the 1920s-1960s expected and the result is the landscape becomes littered with cars (maybe this will be remedied when robotaxis are everywhere and people cut back on individual car ownership)
quite a few streets have sidewalks on only one side
All of the above said, Coral Gables is plainly a fabulous place to live. The downtown is jammed with lively high-quality restaurants. As I texted to a friend, “It’s like Manhattan, but without the homeless, trash, Tesla torchings, and pro-Hamas demonstrations.” What can a city do when it doesn’t have to deal with the foregoing? Offer a free Uber-style service to anyone interested. While New Yorkers push each other onto the train tracks, people in Coral Gables go door to door in Tesla Xs:
What does it look like downtown?
You can’t spit in the street without hitting a Ferrari, Lamborghini, or G-Wagen (“the new Corolla”):
There are quite a few high-end kitchen shops, which is confusing because there is no way that the restaurants could survive if anyone actually uses the $300,000 dream kitchens.
Eataly is opening soon in Aventura (north side of Miami) and West Palm Beach. A competitor is being put together in Coral Gables, which is mostly interesting because it illustrates planning fallacy (“coming soon 2024” displayed on March 29, 2025):
Here are some residential streets close to downtown. A modest house here is $1-2 million.
Saturday night:
Other than “people who can afford $1-20 million for a condo or house” what kind of people are out and about? Roughly half of the conversations that we overheard were in Spanish. We saw exactly one group of people wearing hijabs. Compared to a wealthy area in highly segregated Maskachusetts there were a lot more Black people.
The Coral Gables Museum is a worthwhile stop for some history of George Merrick’s achievement.
Here’s a 1925 map:
Merrick dreamt on a vast scale, almost unimaginable to an American today (except maybe Elon Musk?). To the extent that Coral Gables today doesn’t match his 100-year-old vision it is mostly because he was too successful. Miami, population 30,000 in 1920, grew so large and wealthy that it didn’t make economic sense to build low-rise buildings in central Coral Gables.
A former Haitian mayor living in Massachusetts who committed “unspeakable acts of violence in Haiti” has been convicted of visa fraud for lying about his violent past to secure a green card to live in the United States, the U.S. Attorney said.
Prosecutors said Viliena “ordered and carried out brutal extrajudicial and political killings against the Haitian people” in Haiti. He later lied to immigration officials in 2008 to obtain a permanent resident card in the United States.
In another civil case two years ago, another jury at the US District Court in Boston found Viliena liable and ordered him to pay $15.5 million in damages to the victims and families of political opponents he allegedly killed and tortured in Haiti, the Globe reported. He is currently appealing that decision.
Foley said on June 3, 2008, Viliena went to the U.S. Embassy Consular Office in Port au Prince, Haiti, where he submitted an Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration, Form DS-230, Part II in order to gain entry to the United States.
The form specifically requires that each applicant state whether or not they are a member of any class of individuals that are excluded from admission into the United States, including those who have “ordered, carried out or materially assisted in extrajudicial and political killings and other acts of violence against the Haitian people.”
Viliena falsely responded that he was not. Viliena thereafter swore to, or affirmed, before a U.S. Consular Officer that the contents of the application were true and signed the application, Foley said.
Seventeen years and two federal court lawsuits later, justice has caught up with this enriching immigrant, a great result for attorneys who get paid to handle lawsuits, be judges, or be clerks for judges. What I find interesting is that U.S. immigration is based on the honor system. Mr. Viliena was asked “Are you guilty of extrajudicial and political killings?” and reasonably answered “No.” (It would be great to find out if in the entire history of the United States any prospective migrant has answered “Yes” to such a question!)
How did we expect this system to work and why is Mr. Viliena being prosecuted for lying? Wouldn’t it make more sense to prosecute for stupidity the Americans who set up the questionnaire?
Separately, let’s look at how Mr. Viliena enriched the United States:
Until his arrest two years ago, Viliena had been living in Malden and spent much of three years driving a school bus in the region, The Boston Globe reported.
He was one of the higher achievers in Haiti, mayor of a town of 23,000+, and here in the U.S. he was working at a job (driver) that will soon be automated at, no doubt, a salary that would have entitled him to taxpayer-subsidized housing, health care, etc. The majority of Americans seem to agree that we benefit from importing people who will be eligible for a lifetime of welfare.
I wouldn’t normally watch a basketball game, but the public school here texted out a message advising us that school uniforms wouldn’t be required today if students wanted to wear Gators or Cougars outfits instead (I would love to see the kid brave enough to wear a Houston shirt!).
Xfinity managed to stage a TV outage in our neighborhood (first time I’d tried to use cable since the Super Bowl), promising to have service restored by tomorrow evening, but I was able to see the end of the game via streaming.
Florida universities are searching for ways to pump more money into sports ahead of a proposed landmark NCAA settlement that would open the door for schools to directly pay athletes — and using state dollars could be on the table.
Florida has long held a bright line against putting tax dollars into college athletics. But that could change soon, as schools here and across the country grapple with revolutionary changes coming to the NCAA.
Athletic programs at Florida universities are by rule meant to be self-funded, paid for by student fees, ticket sales to events, NCAA distributions, sponsorships and donation dollars, among other sources.
High school seniors should have their acceptance/rejection notices by now. Thus, it is time to start thinking about how the younger kids will navigate the ever-more-brutal world of college admissions.
First, some group chat messages regarding the son of a friend who married a Taiwanese-American:
He got into Dartmouth, Harvard, and Yale. Waitlisted at Brown
He should go to Harvard then. People will think he is smart because he looks Asian and they know that an Asian kid has to work 10X as hard to get into Harvard. Harvard is the gold standard of Asian hate.
Harvard has terrible teachers. Brown has terrible students.
Yale is for gay homosexuals. [A South Park reference.]
Speaking of Asians… a few months ago, a Chinese immigrant friend hired a Boston-based college admissions counselor for her 16-year-old high school sophomore: $18,000 is the initial fee and it covers 30 hours of work. What can a college application counselor do for someone whose first college application won’t be submitted for nearly two years? “The counselor will help him select and apply for internships.” I mentioned this to some friends in a chat group and got a response from a Maskachusetts-based participant:
Man, poor people don’t have a chance. Elizabeth “the system is rigged” Warren was correct.
For prices up to $1.5 million, parents can buy a five-year, full-service package of college admissions consulting from a company in New York City called Ivy Coach.
The service — all of it legal — begins as early as eighth grade, as students are steered toward picking the right classes and extracurriculars to help them stand out from the crowd. Then comes intensive preparation for the SAT or ACT, both “coachable exams,” explained Brian Taylor, the company’s managing director, followed by close editing of college essays.
“Is that unfair? That the privileged can pay?” Mr. Taylor asked. “Yes. But that’s how the world works.”
(If $1.5 million was the pre-Biden price, imagine what it costs in 2025!)
We’re informed by America’s expert class that Donald Trump’s tariffs, money paid to the government when an item from overseas is purchased for use here, are disastrous.
We’ve been informed for 30 years by America’s expert class that consumption taxes, such as sales taxes, airline ticket taxes, gasoline taxes, etc. are good. In fact, one way to make America better would be to have a European-style 20 percent value-added (consumption) tax, i.e., money paid to the government when an item from overseas is purchased for use domestically (and also when a domestically produced item is purchased). Trump’s 10 percent general tariff plus California’s 10 percent sales tax rate (varies a bit by city/county) comes pretty close to the European average of 22 percent consumption tax (VAT).
Our elites also say that what would really deliver us the paradise on Earth to which we are entitled is a carbon tax. We consume too much, especially of transportation, and the result is epic CO2 emission. A consumption tax, especially for things that have to be transported long distances, would go a long way to healing our beloved Spaceship Earth. A tariff, of course, isn’t a laser-targeted carbon tax, but it is most certainly better than no tax at all for plastic being made in China and then shipped across the wide Pacific Ocean.
Finally, we’ve been told by experts for at least 20 years that we are undertaxed (our structural annual budget deficits certainly lend some credence to this theory!). The government needs more revenue of all kinds so that it can do great things for us.
Trump’s tariffs may simply be a prod to negotiating lower tariffs and non-tariff barriers in other countries to U.S. exports. But even if they were to be applied long-term, based on everything that elites and progressives have previously said, shouldn’t they be a positive for both the U.S. and for the world? Why the hysteria from Democrats when higher tax rates, carbon taxes, and more government revenue are precisely the things that they’ve been asking for?
A neighbor’s house this morning, below. Why wouldn’t a progressive celebrate discouraging the importation of a gas guzzling Porsche 911 like the one in the photo (daily driver parked on the street because the homeowner’s garage is presumably full with the valuable cars). This homeowner could have used a nudge in the direction of a planet-healing domestically produced Chevrolet Bolt instead.
“Trade, Firms, and Wages: Theory and Evidence” (Amiti and Davis 2011), in which economists from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Queers for Palestine University (a.k.a. “Columbia”), and NBER, found that high tariffs boosted wages for workers “at import-competing firms”
“There’s a Method to Trump’s Tariff Madness” (New York Times! Guest essay by a young history professor): “They are the opening gambit in a more ambitious plan to smash the world’s economic and geopolitical order and replace it with something intended to better serve American interests. … it seeks to improve the United States’ global trading position by using tariffs and other strong-arm tactics to force the world to take a radical step: weakening the dollar via currency agreements. … some sort of reset of the economic order probably makes sense for the United States.” and then the more familiar NYT perspective… “But the slash-and-burn approach of the Mar-a-Lago Accord isn’t the answer. For one thing, it is hard to find an economist outside of Mr. Trump’s inner circle who thinks it is a good idea. But even if, despite all the chaos it will unleash, the United States eventually prospers as a result, we will have traded away the core economic and political values that make America truly great. … The most valuable asset of the United States is not the dollar but our trustworthiness — our integrity and our values. If the world envisioned by the Mar-a-Lago Accords comes to pass, it will be a sign that not only our currency but our nation has been devalue” (My rating for this last sentence: Completely FALSE! Our most valuable asset is the entire continent that we stole from the Native Americans! As a thought experiment, imagine if the roughly 350 million Americans lived on the territory of Sudan. How rich would we be?)
Happy International Asexuality Day to those who celebrate (i.e., 50 percent of of people in heterosexual marriages (measured at or after four years)).
Below are some highlighted books from Books & Books, an independent bookstore that started in Coral Gables, Florida in 1982 and now has five locations around Miami.
(There were no Black customers or workers in the store when I visited. On March 31, the book was ranked #4,783,207 in sales among all books by Amazon.)
The front door:
(All of these “banned” books could be purchased within the store or checked out for free at the nearby Coral Gables branch of the Miami-Dade Public Library.)
A book about slavery that ended in 1865 is featured in a part of the country that wasn’t settled until 1891 (Coral Gables was incorporated in 1925; Miami in 1896):
Books to teach children about the miracle of open borders:
Coral Gable residents favored closing U.S. borders in 2024 by voting in a narrow majority for Donald Trump.
A book deploring climate change and wealth inequality:
A house right at sea level on the water in Coral Gables will cost $10-20 million. How many of those folks would like to see everyone’s wealth equalized so that we all live in 2BR apartments? Some additional private poolside reading:
Here’s a 4400-square-foot $8.5 million apartment one block away from the bookstore in which a person can read about the horrors inflicted by the privileged and the propertied:
More about Blackness in a store free of Blacks:
If the Black-White conflict isn’t large enough…
Since transwomen are women I can’t know if there were any in the store when I visited. None of the people getting in and out of the passenger seats of Ferraris, Rolls-Royces, Bentleys, G-Wagens (“the new Corolla”), and similar cars were uttering feminist slogans or wearing T-shirts like this one from Target:
During my brief visit, nobody in the store either browsed or purchased any book like the above. A book featured in the window ranked #4,783,207 at Amazon and I don’t think that customers in Coral Gables are either more Black or more Queer than Amazon customers overall. The function of these displays, therefore, has to be something other than motivating people to buy the displayed books. What is the commercial function, then? Customers of independent bookstores like to think of themselves as part of the #Resistance during visits whose primary purpose is getting a sandwich and coffee or maybe a cookbook for their never-used dream kitchen?
It struck me as odd that Einstein, who died in 1955, would have written or said anything on the subject of “empathy”, a term that has only recently come into vogue as a personal bragging point (“I’m empathetic and you support genocide; #FreePalestine”). Being a horrible person without an AI assist, of course I couldn’t resist commenting with Einstein’s well-documented writing “It would be a pity if these Chinese supplant all other races. For the likes of us the mere thought is unspeakably dreary.” (from 1922-23 diaries), presenting this in a positive light as an inspiration to Harvard University’s admissions office. And I noted that even our AI overlords couldn’t find any source for Einstein having said “Empathy is patiently and sincerely seeing the world through the other person’s eyes”. David responded with a clickbait quote web page, which itself did not cite any source, as proof that Einstein had opined on empathy. (Of course, since those who advocate for diversity can’t tolerate viewpoint diversity, he subsequently defriended me.)
Now I’m curious… did Einstein ever write or say anything on the subject of a working definition of empathy, as in the meme? Most of Einstein’s writings are online, e.g., at https://einsteinpapers.press.princeton.edu/, so one would think that ChatGPT would have consumed them. In fact, however, ChatGPT can’t find any instance of Einstein using the term “sincerely” except in closing a letter with “Yours sincerely”. This makes sense to me because bragging about one’s superior fund of sincerity is also a relatively recent phenomenon.
David Levitt has a Ph.D. from MIT. This member of the credentialed elite accepted a combination of meme and clickbait quote web page as proof that a historical event (Einstein writing or saying something) actually occurred. In the bad old days, by contrast, middle school kids were taught that they couldn’t use an encyclopedia as a source. Teachers demanded that they find a primary reference so as to avoid accepting a misattribution. What is a reasonable definition of historical truth in an age where we have an arms race between people with computer assistance putting out falsehoods (possibly just for clicks/ad revenue) and people training LLMs? If Grok says that something didn’t happen can we be more confident in that than in Wikipedia, for example? Are LLMs sufficiently skeptical to cut through what’s produced by all of the cleverest Internet content developers? Or are we doomed to lose access to historical facts? In fifty years will the remnant humans left alive by Skynet believe memes in which Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. praises rule by AI?
Separately, never forgot that Albert Einstein is justly famous as a science writer for popularizing the work of physicist Mileva Marić (photoelectric effect, Brownian motion, and special relativity, for example). Even if Einstein never wrote or talked about empathy, that doesn’t take away the credit he deserves for his work in assisting Ms. Marić with publishing her research.
The “Capt. Gilbert” quote might be genuine. How about the Hannah Arendt quote? She died in 1975, decades before the Empathy Boom among Democrats. ChatGPT:
No, Hannah Arendt did not say, “The death of human empathy is one of the earliest and most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism.”
This quote is often misattributed to her, but there’s no verified source—none of her writings, interviews, or lectures—where she says or writes this exact line.
Finally, let’s look at the Elon Musk quote, taken from a conversation with Joe Rogan (bold highlights are my own potential excerpts to capture the spirit of the Musk-Rogan conversation):
Musk: There’s a guy who posts on X who’s great, Gad Saad?
Rogan: Yeah, he’s a friend of mine. He’s been on the podcast a bunch of times.
Musk: Yeah, he’s awesome, and he talks about, you know, basically suicidal empathy. Like, there’s so much empathy that you actually suicide yourself. So, we’ve got civilizational suicidal empathy going on. And it’s like, I believe in empathy, like, I think you should care about other people, but you need to have empathy for, for civilization as a whole, and not commit to a civilizational suicide.
Rogan: Also don’t let someone use your empathy against you so they can completely control your state and then do an insanely bad job of managing it and never get removed.
Musk: The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy. The empathy exploit. They’re exploiting a bug in Western civilization, which is the empathy response. So, I think, you know, empathy is good, but you need to think it through and not just be programmed like a robot.
Rogan: Right, understand when empathy has been actually used as a tool.
Musk: Yes, like, it’s weaponized empathy is the issue.
I, of course, will never see eye-to-eye with Elon Musk on the issue of whether every vehicle should have sliding doors… #LongLiveHondaOdyssey
Democrat-run media says car prices will go up 25% due to Trump’s new tariffs. My prediction: average transaction price goes up 3% and if we hold the car model and trim level constant, up 5%. What’s the basis of my prediction? Americans spend every penny they can earn, borrow, win in family court, inherit, or steal. There simply isn’t any way for people to spend more on cars. (Prices did go up during coronapanic, but interest rates were low and the government was handing out $trillions in free money.)
Readers: who wants to take the other side of this?
(I’m personally in favor of free trade (zero tariffs) based on standard Econ 101 arguments. I believe that the classical Econ belief is that the U.S. is best off with zero tariffs even if other countries erect tariff barriers to our exports. In other words, we would be better off exporting nothing if it came to that so long as we could get cheap imports. However, if other countries blink first in the trade war that Donald Trump has started we might be better off than we were a few months ago.)
What happened to out family so far? The imported bicycles that we wanted to purchase have gone down by nearly 17 percent compared to a week ago:
REI (expanding in Florida, while closing stores in Portland, Oregon and Cambridge, Maskachusetts) and some independent bike shops all wanted to sell us XS adult bikes, which have enormous 700C wheels and weigh about 7 lbs. more than this Trek 26″ bike. Supposedly the kids won’t outgrow the XS adult bike as fast. My position is that road bike nerds will pay $thousands to shave 7 lbs. off a road bike so we should be happy to buy these with the expectation of reselling them in 2 years.
Loosely related…
My stance with the tariffs is basically
Everyone I know who's been wrong about literally everything for the last 10 years is SUPER pissed about them
So the 'inverse retard' indicator says it's probably fine

And from today at Sun ‘n Fun, a Nash Metropolitan (it actually made economic sense to build cars in England back then!):
If you’re in the market for a 150-250′ yacht, the Palm Beach International Boat Show isn’t a terrible place to spend the day (Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show might be bigger/better, I think, and there is also Miami, but both of those shows are spread among multiple locations). Palm Beach Post: “This year [2025] will feature 45 yachts measuring 150 feet or longer and 200 superyachts surpassing 80 feet in length.”
What does it look like overall? Here’s an aerial photo from 2024 (taken from the mighty Robinson R44):
Here’s my report on a day spent strolling around. I can’t show you what the elites see because peasants aren’t allowed into the superyachts. Potential customers must be vetted and accompanied by a broker (a neighbor actually is a yacht broker, but he didn’t invite me to sneak in with him and he was busy trying to close a deal on a 112′ boat for a mini-douche; he says that new boats can usually be had for 10 percent off the list price).
One take-away from the show is that Europe isn’t quite the economic basket case that it appears to be. Americans are generally too lazy/unskilled/unionized to build nice boats at competitive prices and the Bidenflood of 10+ million low-skill migrants didn’t change that. The floating examples of craftsmanship at the boat show were generally made in Poland ($1 million), Italy and China ($1-10 million), or Holland and Germany ($10-50 million).
One of the first boats that I went on, though, happened to be made in Washington State, a Ranger Tug on which I met a guy preparing to do a 1.3-year trip around The Great Loop. He said that Elon Musk’s Starlink was critical to enabling this project because he intended to continue working via Zoom during the voyage. When I mentioned this on Facebook, a loyal Democrat questioned the need for Starlink because, in his view, mobile data service would work perfectly on every mile of the journey. Apparently, all that one needs to make cell phone service 100 percent reliable in the United States is a passionate hatred of Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
Here’s what a couple’s 31-foot two-bedroom home for more than a year looks like:
(When on the Intracoastal Waterway for this trip, keep the red buoys on your left if going counter-clockwise. The “red right returning” rule is a little challenging to apply on the Intracoastal until you remember that it runs from New Jersey to Texas and, as a training captain told me, “nobody wants to return to New Jersey.”)
What if you need to do the trip in a week instead of 1.3 years? Mercury offers 600 hp V12 outboard motors and 2400-3600 hp on the transom could fulfill your need for speed:
Speaking of the transom, Wiszniewski Yachts is a Polish company, founded by an Axopar partner, whose W43 has a motorized platform behind the outboard motors. When the kids are ready to swim, the platform can be lowered into the water for easy in/out access. Here’s what the 900 hp $800,000 machine looks like from above:
One neat feature has been copied from RVs. The tables appear to be wood, but they’ve got enough steel inside that glasses with embedded magnets will stick to them even if the boat tilts 45 degrees or more.
Even more quiet can be obtained with a pure battery-powered Halevai party boat (made in Louisiana and retailing for $185,000):
Note that the company sends power into the outboard half of a Mercury inboard/outboard drive system. That way, in case of damage, it can be repaired at any boatyard.
It’s a fun experience to stroll around. For a $40 lunch break and a glimpse at where the real action is occurring, duck out of the show (the same ticket on your phone gets you back in) to the Ben Hotel. This is where the brokers, lawyers, etc. hang out to negotiate and finalize transactions. Don’t park near the Ben, though! It will be about $10 to park at the Convention Center and then it is a 15-minute walk or a free shuttle bus ride to the event. In 2025, at least, there was a simultaneous art show at the Convention Center and the $35 ticket to the boat show was also accepted for the art show.
Here’s an ultimate redneck vehicle, with Yamaha engines in each pontoon (Shadow Six; $250,000):
If your taste is more refined and you want to save the planet, perhaps this $566,350 Rolls-Royce Spectre will suit:
Note that the government is watching our for us by mandating a calculation of the fuel cost/savings on the window sticker. There were Ferraris, restored Land Rovers, and classic Rolls-Royces on display as well.
It’s a fun event and downtown West Palm Beach is a fun place to hang out even when there is no event. For folks in the Northeast, Chicago, and California who are wondering how the West Palm lifestyle might be different than theirs, here’s a public bathroom inside a public parking garage (Hibiscus):
(If you don’t have kids, I think a condo or apartment in one of the gleaming new buildings in West Palm Beach might be the best place to live in Palm Beach County. Publix, culture, restaurants, an off-the-charts public library, etc. are all within an easy walk. Much of this is due to the efforts of Stephen Ross, developer of City Place and owner of the Miami Dolphins (also a Jewish enabler of the Queers for Palestine movement at the University of Michigan via his hundreds of $millions in donations to the progressive Democrat institution).)
