I looked at the area between 44 and turnpike on Google maps. There’s not much space. Lake Okahumpka and continental are on the north east side, takes up a lot of space.
The only spot was where southern oaks is. They may have been able to get 3 executives in vs 1 championship, but there are a lot of executives south of turnpike.

And yes, the developer has to build homes, that’s their business.
