If you're not going to raise the developers fees, then you'll have to pay his share of the taxes.

If it were me, I'd raise the developer fees from $900-something per unit, to $1500 per unit - which is still lower than what everyone else is being charged to develop.

I think your information is not factual. All +55 community developers pay the same impact fee. The Villages does NOT get a discount or special treatment.
