If the developer of The Villages builds homes in a Single Family development they will pay $2600. If you build an Assisted Living Facility you will pay a whopping $544. You can not in this country, state or county make discriminatory business practices on one company over another.
Doesn’t this argument simply imply that every builder benefits from low impact fees? Ie. if one builder muscles it down all builders benefit.
