Interesting thread. A few comments.
I've been to Gulfstream a few times over the past two years. In a word, awful. A zombie shopping mall and a "racino" with electronic games and slots. I walked out onto the track, they have speakers facing INTO the crowd playing music. I like peace at the track, not a radio blasting in my face? The song? I walk in and blasting in my face is "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath. I couldn't make it up if I tried. Now I'm good with Black Sabbath but not what I'm looking for at this particular time? And I mean LOUD. So clearly the people running the place have no idea what they're doing. At all.
I stayed at the Holiday Inn that overlooked Calder back in the day? Nothing good is ever going to happen there. Hialeah is beautiful, what a waste. So you're left with Gulfstream Mall. Yuck.
As for the land bonanza, I'm no expert but I don't get it. As landscape goes it's absolutely nowhere, and who's dying to spend lots of money to live in a condo THERE? Really? The only way I'd be interested in a condo there is if they keep the track, and even then I'd need a soundproof spacesuit to go there and enjoy a day.
