We don't disagree on that. I'm well aware of how Leesburg, Fruitland Park, etc. do not want the developer encroachment into their fair cities/towns.
But the bottom line is that if it's not TV--a known quantity and recipe that works--it will be some other developer that could care far less about what happens when they are long gone.
I think it was JFK who said, "Keep your friends close, and your enemies even closer". Wisdom to live by.
