My point - is that these people won't be contributing tax dollars after the work is done. Their contributions are temporary. That is WHY developers typically have to pay higher fees than the fee the Villages developers are paying, to build each house. Because any other contributions to the town that would typically cover the costs of the increased population using up all those town services, are temporary.

You bring in workers to build buildings, that some of them will live in, and they will rely on more buildings being built, so that they can continue to afford to live in the buildings their boss built. It's basically a snake eating its own tail. Eventually - it will be fully consumed.

With the acquisition of somewhere in the neighborhood of 26,000 acres the snake just got a whole lot longer. I think it'll be eating for a long time to come.. lol
