Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

Without knowing more, it is impossible to give a valid response. Generally, any concessions promised in a public forum must be provided by a developer. You should go to your city council and advise them that the developer has breached its promises and ask for the city to require them to perform. You can also write to your local newspaper and voice your feelings. Perhaps the newspaper will investigate and report about it which could bring action.

Re: Property

Mr. Jay is correct. Promises made to the City Council need to be enforced by the City Council. You can start a campaign and you may have some sort of inverse condemnation claim, but only an attorney could tell you that after going over the facts.
