The first poll generated a lot of discussion, which is expected given that it's a bit of a 'hot button' issue giving rise to lawn signs and the like. It was also familiar territory for discussion. The second poll explored more untested possibilities, and the direction was much more decisive:
The third poll matched the second as far as being more untested. In #3, the community did not show NMB the same love as it did for Aventura.
In the "grand finale," annexation by Aventura proved to be 340% more popular than forming a new city "West of Aventura". Curious since this (clearly more preferable) option has no known or organized support, like the pro-incorporation movement (CIND) or the anti-incorporation movement.
The only commentary I offer on all this is: I always suspected Aventura would be preferred to the risks and uncertainties of forming a new city, because Aventura is "the devil you know." The question is: if they don't want us, can the County force them to swallow us anyway?
