A united Kendall makes for a stronger Kendall
Opinion By Michael Rosenberg, President, Kendall Federation of Homeowner Associations
On the evening of April 22, 2025, almost 150 Kendall and West Kendall residents gathered at the “Little House” in Kendall, the meeting place of the Kendall Federation of Homeowner Associations, located in the Kendall Village Shopping Center.
It’s not easy to get people to leave their homes after work, doing everything that we do in the evenings, and then drive to a meeting for ninety minutes. But, on this night, the Community left their computers and social media at home and decided that 
getting together is what will make us stronger. In looking at these photos, can’t you feel the power of community?
Stop for a moment and really look at those pictures. This is us. All of us. It’s the Kendall Community coming together to discuss issues where we live and working together to find solutions. There were no famous people at this meeting. No elected officials. No big names. It was only you and me, the people that actually live here and often suffer the decisions of our elected officials. The house was full. Standing room only. Our community, wondering, “Do our elected officials listen to us?”
The topics of the evening were the proposed waste disposal station being considered for SW 127th Avenue and SW 136th street. You read that correctly. A garbage dump near the Three Lakes area! We also discussed 5G Cell Towers, the Calusa Golf Course and the soon-to-be 540 homes that will be built there. The floor was open for all concerns and we did talk … we did Kendall Talk!

The plan is to grow Kendall Talk! and get more and more people and homeowner associations involved. We need a lot of voices as 
our Community is far away from downtown and Government Center and, sometimes, it feels like our elected officials have forgotten about us, except when it comes to more and more development with no transit solutions for those people.
We hope Kendall Talk! will turn into Kendall Action. If you are an HOA/condo association, or any individual, please go to www.KFHA.org and contact us. Sign up to be part of this force. Or, call me at 305-439-3571.
Lastly, we handed a “ballot” to everyone that came to this meeting. Not everyone voted, but many did. Here are the questions and the results. We look forward to hearing from you soon!
Michael Rosenberg is the longtime president of the Kendall Federation of Homeowner Associations, which represents tens of thousands of residents in Kendall and West Kendall and advocates on their behalf. He is also the co-founder of the Pets’ Trust initiative, a ballot measure that voters overwhelmingly supported to provide for low cost spay and neutering services, and whose primary mission was to stop the killing of our animals. He also was a candidate for Miami-Dade Commission District 7 in 2020.
