Explore the conflict at the heart of Boca Raton as a billion-dollar downtown redevelopment plan collides with a daily emergency: residents in neighborhoods like Hidden Valley can't reliably call 911. While city leaders focus on a "downtown campus opportunity", including new shops, offices, and housing, some residents are left with one bar of cell service.

Tune in to understand how a city's vision for a modern, sleek future, as outlined in Mayor Scott Singer’s newsletter, is being challenged by community groups who argue that basic public services like reliable emergency communication should be the top priority. This episode dives into the debate over where the city's resources and political capital should be spent: on a massive development project promising financial benefits, or on ensuring the safety of its citizens.

Discover why some residents believe that a "billion-dollar downtown redevelopment scheme" is a "nightmare" if it comes at the expense of public safety and essential infrastructure. The podcast poses a critical question: what good is an "opportunity" if it doesn't guarantee a safe life for its citizens?

On this episode of The Velvet Funnel Podcast, we feature the Hidden Valley Guardians, an East Boca Raton community organization fighting to put safety before skyscrapers. While residents struggle with dropped 911 calls and poor cell service, city leaders are prioritizing billion-dollar downtown redevelopment plans.

We break down why reliable emergency communication is a basic public service, what Mayor Scott Singer’s newsletter says about the “Downtown Campus Opportunity,” and why critics believe Boca Raton’s priorities are dangerously out of balance.

When it comes to public safety, residents deserve more than glossy renderings and promises of “opportunity.” They deserve working cell service, reliable 911 access, and a voice in how their city grows.
