Appeal To Florida State Govenment To Limit Growth

I live in Miami-Dade County. How can we impose rational growth on the County Government to allow for limited natural resources in South Florida? Planning and Zoning does not seem to factor in the limitations on water and usable land and
changing economic patterns, as well as changing weather patterns, in its granting of building permits. Under FL Statue 163 Concurrency, they are required to do this.

No one, including the South Florida Water Management District, has said: How many people can our water support; we will limit housing permits to that level. New development must occur on land already designated for housing. Use such land to its maximum potential because no more land will be authorized for residential use. Urban infill and redevelopment must become the standard. I am willing to give time and energy to this goal and am available to discuss it with your staff.

The government in this county is out of touch with reality and the elected officials have lost their way. Just look at the County Commission's recent rules on gathering petition signatures; it is totalitarian and denies due process; they are draconian and self serving. Help!
