The tax payers will become a bigger bunch too and will share the burden of any repairs and additions. Making a profit is how business works and it also allows business to employ people which to me is a very good thing.

SOMEONE is going to build here. I would prefer it is of the quality and have the regulations we now enjoy and that it continues to be an age restricted area.

Check again the map I posted that shows we have the lowest unemployment of any county in the state. Before the Morses came, Sumter was one of the poorest counties with the lowest employment.

A rising tide lifts all ships.

I do not mean to pick your post apart, however, I see many cliff hangers.
Of course private business can achieve what the government cannot.
When one person can own a business versus a Congress, Senate, or what have you, it is no big surprise a business owner can do what he wants, when he wants to do it, etc., and be successful in a short amount of time.

What does TV's Charter School offer that most Florida schools do not?

Yes, there are some new businesses that have opened here, however no Costco (that is a definite barometer regarding demographics).
In addition, using Brownwood as an example, after about five years, many storefronts are still empty,
A huge amount of empty land is sitting there, waiting for the growth to which you refer that isn't here.

The quality of the houses in TV is average and nothing terrific. There are other builders in the area who frankly, build a better quality constructed home.
However, what we have here will certainly last long enough to go on to service other generations.

The problem with the regulations we currently have is that there are too many different ones.
Regulations throughout all of TV would make much more sense if everyone had to abide by the same ones and not by all the different districts or those north of this or south of that, etc.

I think there is plenty of room for a non-age restricted community that has their own recreational benefits. It would be nice to see something other than the thousands of Q-Tip heads that we have here!

I did not see a unemployment map that you said you posted, but Sumter County does not have the lowest unemployment rate in the state.
Wildwood still remains high in unemployment and many live in poverty.
Furthermore, before the Morse family came here, Sumter County had one of the highest amount of unemployed, not the lowest which you indicated.
