During boom and bust, I’m bullish on Miami, and nothing about the last few years has changed that. Anyone who disagrees is welcome to take a walk onto Biscayne Boulevard past the condos, bustling shops and sidewalk cafes that were not there six years ago. I’ll take you to the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, which helped reinvent Downtown Miami. I’ll show you projects from the Building Better Communities bond program, which is laying the foundation for the next generation of growth in Miami-Dade. And I’ll give you an amazing view of the whole thing from the upper deck of our new ballpark, which is on track to be a national model for public-private partnerships. We have taken a yesteryear airport and are transforming it into a gateway worthy of what Miami has become. We have taken a seaport that is globally competitive today and launched extraordinary projects to make it globally competitive tomorrow. We’re providing jobs in sectors that need them most at a time when they’re most needed. We have earned our place among the likes of Barcelona and Chicago and Sydney. Our challenge today is not to be better than this one or greater than that one. It is to be the architects of our own best future, the authors of our own greatest destiny. For better or worse, we will look back on this season in 10, 25 or 50 years, and realize what a crucial turning point it was.
Over the next few months, this community will hear news and make decisions that simply have no precedent in our modern history. Last month, we learned that property values fell more than 13 percent across the county. Some of our cities were hit as hard as 25 or 30 percent. Since 2008, countywide property value has fallen more than $53 billion. Sacrifices are coming. That is inevitable and, in some ways, can be healthy. Over the past three years, we at the county have closed budget gaps totaling $800 million. Now we’re facing a gap of another $420 million. For many of you, the cracks have not yet appeared. There’s a degree to which we’re proud of that. We had built up reserves and contingency funds, and that helped us persevere. A crisis is a terrible thing to waste, and we’ve been able to streamline our operations in ways my predecessors could never have hoped. We have fewer employees per resident than we have since the early 90s, and the typical resident pays less for government today, adjusted for inflation, than they have for some 20 years. Our union partners have made concessions that their predecessors would never have considered. And our employees have stepped up in ways we could never have imagined. Our police and firefighters will still be keeping you safe, the traffic lights will still have electricity and the tap water will still be clean, safe and delicious. The time has come, though, to talk about what role government should play in MiamiDade County. This community needs to move past the sound bites and into a great conversation.
