As Collier continues to grow, the locally rooted, quiet way of life that longtime residents built, and that new families moved here to enjoy, is under threat. Sprawling, chaotic development driven by big developers is overwhelming our roads, straining our environment, and pricing out small businesses and working families. County government must stand with local residents, not outside interests, and guide growth in a way that protects what makes Collier distinct while building a strong, livable future for the next generation.
Collier's growth has been shaped by fragile, top-down planning that prioritizes large developers over residents, resulting in congestion, crashes, and lifeless, isolating neighborhoods. We need a smarter, more resilient approach that allows neighborhoods to grow organically, street by street, instead of in massive chunks. I support infrastructure that enables walkable, family-friendly communities, where people can live, work, and thrive without sitting in traffic or being stuck at home. Zoning should be less rigid and shaped locally rather than by distant officials and developers.
I live off Immokalee Road and hear sirens more often than Iâd like. We donât have to resign ourselves to dangerous roads as if frequent crashes are an inevitable part of modern life. With smarter street design and infrastructure that prioritizes human lifeânot just vehicle speedâwe can build safer communities for everyone. Modern technology and thoughtful planning can make our county a place where families feel secure, kids and the elderly can participate in daily life, and pedestrians and cyclists arenât constantly at risk.
