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.
Los estándares han cambiado a tal grado que mi viejo vecindario en South Beach, cuando arreglaron la calle porque no drenaba bien, la ensancharon y nos quitaron media acera, porque los estándares eran más anchos.
