I am glad you enjoy the sidewalks but I doubt it will kill the deal.

It will happen. Just wait.

Here's a bit of history as they were discussing Fruitland Park.

In Florida school districts are run by County boards. They are funded by county, not by town. There are no impact fees for senior communities, since there are no children attending the schools. The school taxes paid by Village residents go to Sumter county to disburse to the varying schools in the county and do not get sent directly only to Wildwood schools.
