If we assume, for the moment because of the lack of any real data, the impact fee needed to go to $10K. That is an average increase of about 3%. I can't speak for everyone but that would not have been an impediment to us when deciding to buy a new home in The Villages. Can we agree that without any real numbers this thread is just a bunch of speculative nonsense?
But, it does continue to stir up the masses.....
