MIAMI : As developers seek to build up Miami's skyline, long-time resident Ishmael Bermudez is digging in - literally.
"It's up to us, the people, to make sure that this don't get destroyed," said Bermudez. Developers cannot"come here and intimidate us with their money - they have to work with us," he said. After excavating under his home, Bermudez discovered fossils - and even human remains, which were given to local authorities.
Related Group, the real estate developer, did not respond to requests for comment. The City of Miami's Historic and Environmental Preservation Board did not respond to a request for comment.
