My house is on 0.2 acres of land, or 0.1 acres per resident. If there were no streets or rec centers or golf courses or trails or... that density of 0.1 acres per person gives 10 persons per acre
Fenney is to have 14000 homes = 26000 residents on 8000 acres or 3.3 residents per acre
S. Oaks is proposed to have 20,300 homes = 38000 residents on 4518 acres or 8.5 residents per acre.
Something is missing either in my math, or in the new development. Perhaps no golf courses? There are going to be three times as many people per acre in the new development. I can only hope the numbers in the online news are wrong and that the acres are not really 4518. At least on the map shown it looks bigger than Fenney which is said to have 8000 acres.

Numbers become a jumbled mess after a while. News reports sometimes jumble the numbers.
Fenny is about 1,000 acres and will have about 3,000 homes plus amenities. Link to March 29,

Of course, _dash_ must be replaced with a hyphen.
Southern Oaks may have as many as 20,300 homes in an area of about 4,518 acres south of SR 44 and east of US 301 on both sides of the Florida Turnpike. Link to March 14,

However, we have read articles stating 8,000 acres. Who among us really knows? TV has a "formula" that works. I believe that successful formula will be used in Fenney and Southern Oaks.
