‘It Makes Census’

Wouldn’t it be great if you knew filling out your 2010 Census form could result in getting “censuble” community improvements and amenities like these:

More Sand: Since most of the land is “sand” in Sunny Isles Beach, maybe if you send in your census form the city could become eligible to receive more sand by public demand! And as a special incentive to get residents to participate, in census forms could come along with bottles of suntan lotion and bathing suits strategically engraved with the phrase “Fill it out!” 

More Palm Trees: The city is always trying to enhance landscaping – so if everyone sends in their census forms, Sunny Isles Beach might be able to secure funding for beautifying medians by planting even more palm trees - eventually outnumbering the city’s entire population! 

More gym equipment: To help put an end to the question, “How many sets do you have left?” fill out your census form and perhaps gyms everywhere will be able to pay for more machines in order to accommodate all the new people deciding a membership is much more affordable than costly cosmetic surgery procedures.
  
Wider roads: If everyone who’s tired of sitting in traffic sends in their census form, maybe millions of frustrated motorists can play a part in getting major thoroughfares like Collins Avenue widened to include HOV lanes and maybe even some Sunny Isles Beach Sunpass lanes replacing revenue that may be lost if red light cameras are deemed unconstitutional.   

Additional Schools: To help make sure kids continue to get a great education, send in your census form and more new local schools could be built - graduating a whole new generation of literate citizens capable of filling out their 2020 Census forms (in ten minutes or less!)
