The standards have changed to such a degree that my old neighborhood of South Beach, when it was time to fix the street that wasn't draining properly, they had to widen it and take away half our sidewalk, because the standards were wider.
Les standards ont tellement changé dans mon ancien quartier de South Beach, quand il a fallu réparer la rue car elle ne drainait pas bien, ils ont dû l’élargir et nous piquer la moitié du trottoir, car les normes étaient plus larges.
