No wonder our annual fire assessment has to increase. I do not begrudge the firefighters a fair wage, but no houses are 10 stories tall, only businesses.

That's a good reason for a public safety impact fee on commercial property.
There will be more apartment buildings in the Villages in the future. Who’s to say they won’t be 10 stories tall at this point?
