I am confused about the current number of homes/acreage totals that have been released. Before the Leesburg announcement yesterday, I thought the total of everything below 44 was 8000 acres and 14,000 homes. The Leesburg property is another 2000 acres, and I haven't heard how many homes are planned for that property and don't think that has been worked out.

Is the 11,000 homes referred to above part of the 14,000 homes below 44? That seems like too many since Fenney will have about 4,000 itself, and there will be 4 or 5 other villages as well.

From what I can tell, the final totals for everything south of 44 that has been announced thus far will be 10,000 acres and probably between 16,000 and 17,000 homes, depending on how many they put on the Leesburg property that was just acquired.
