The biggest mindset that needs to change in Jacksonville is the one which wants myriad city government services at no cost but pule and whine when they think their taxes are going to increase by a nickel a month.  Then they pull out the old 'corrupt city hall' argument to justify it.  My god, look at how much push back the scoreboards created.  Granted, I'm aware of the good ole boy network here, but it's slowly dying out and the people who complain need to start becoming more involved in oversight.  "Of the people, by the people, for the people."

 

Shad Khan is right, there is a vacuum in this city and it's going to take a monumental effort to change it.  With that being said, I think the next 20 years are going to be good for Jacksonville, and it will be spearheaded in part by Khan.
