Oh yeah, Cooper City FL is prepared for hurricanes
Under the city law, once the city declares a state of emergency, officials would be able to regulate fuel and alcohol sales, close any place of public assemblage and prohibit public possession or display of firearms. In addition, they would be able "to confiscate merchandise, equipment, vehicles or property needed to alleviate any emergency condition."
I see a lot of city officials who need to be unemployed.
Kleiman said Cooper City residents should be happy because their city has taken preventative steps to ensure their well-being.
And if you've taken your
own preventive steps to ensure your family's well-being? Kiss them goodbye.

I can walk to Cooper City from my house, if I wanted to. Irony 1). People in Cooper City are slightly more conservative than people in Weston, where they don't have the property confiscation law--although the difference is definitely small. Irony 2) The totem of Cooper City High School is--a Cowboy.
The local Chabad is having a difficult time with this same group of politicians. They want to open a synagogue in a shopping center. The town won't let them; it wants to restrict all churches and synagogues to the western reaches of the town, in the "agricultural" sections. The openly admitted rationale is that the city will lose tax dollars if tax exempt organizations can take out space in commercial areas, which is where most of the property tax revenues come from. This seems to be going to court. Of course, there is already a plethora of churches (two of them Orthodox Christian, and two synagogues, and an alternate Chabad facility) in aforesaid agricultural land--not to mention a Catholic parochial school.
In fact, there's probably more churches in CC than there are farms.
