expensive parking fees. It also said it would increase law enforcement."
I guess that those words don't mean the same to you as they do to me.
So were you surprised when the formal announcement went out?
And I guess you missed this little mention of what happened last year:

The Miami Beach City Code grants the City Manager authority to impose discretionary emergency measures for up to 72 hours unless an extension is granted by the Miami Beach City Commission.
The City Commission passed a resolution last year endorsing the City’s intent to declare a curfew to protect public safety during Spring Break 2024. City leaders also have publicly warned local businesses to “expect curfews’’ during Spring Break 2024, particularly during this weekend, when South Beach historically has experienced the highest level of disturbance and violence.
“In consultation with our public safety leadership, we have determined that a midnight curfew is necessary and appropriate to assist in maintaining public safety on this Spring Break weekend,’’ said Miami Beach City Manager Alina Hudak. “We did not make this decision lightly, but it should not come as a surprise. We have been very clear about our intent to protect the public from the dangerous mayhem that has accompanied Spring Break crowds in recent years.”
So LAST YEAR the City Commission endorsed the city's intent to have a curfew. And the Mayor said it should come as no surprise.
But I'll admit to a mistake in my last post. There weren't two shootings. There were two deaths last year. Shame on me. They weren't just shot. They were shot to death. Lord knows how many shootings there were. You might know that number.
In case anyone is wondering about my deleted post, I mistakenly posted it as a reply to myself so I deleted it and posted it here correctly in reply to Marcus IM
