“There would be a real slowdown in construction activity,” said Edward Murray, assistant director at FIU’s Jorge M. Perez Metropolitan Center, noting that development has been driving the local economy for years.
"If you are not able to compete with employers elsewhere, whether remote employers or elsewhere in South Florida, by offering a competitive salary, you will not get the talent that you need," said Maria Ilcheva, associate director of the Metropolitan Center and the survey's author.
“You have to applaud the county for being aggressive about affordable housing, but you still have to be careful,” Murray said. “You really need to be so transparent. There is always the issue of compatibility, and as a planner I’m always very sensitive about that, especially in single-family communities.”
