Exactly. If the Developer could really succeed in passing on all the increased impact fees through higher prices (which anybody with any knowledge of economics or business would realize he could not), that would be fine. The costs of the new infrastructure would then be borne by the people who necessitated it, not by the existing residents-- who didn't want The Villages to expand in the first place.
