Timely PBP Editorial given my trip to the northern part of the county...

Click title for link. Some excerpts:

Palm Beach Gardens has the sort of problem most cities would like to have: Too many people want to live there. Its population of 50,000 could very well grow by an additional 10,000 in a decade’s time, as developers put up condos, homes, offices and town centers. City leaders profess to be “very concerned.”
But the city should be encouraged. With one notable exception — the proposed Avenir development on the Vavrus Ranch property out west — most of the projected growth seems to be good growth. Empty or underused spaces in the city’s core are being filled in with smart-sounding mixed-use developments and more “intense” residential projects like apartment buildings and condos.

There’s also an expansive development plan for the nearly 700 acres of woods on the Briger property along Donald Ross Road, where developers envision thousands of town homes, apartments, offices and shops across the street from Scripps Florida.
Those are only the highlights. There’s a proposal to build another mixed-use development along RCA Boulevard. There’s an expansion of The Benjamin School underway, not to mention the recent opening of the Palm Beach Orthopaedic Institute. At least six assisted-living facilities are making plans to open in the city.
Already, as The Post reported Monday, city officials say 3,040 homes and 5.5 million square feet of commercial buildings have been OK’d and await construction.
