In any case I can feel the pain of the neighbors in this situation.

I think that's part of the problem ... the case probably has little or no "value".
I suppose there's some possibility of "damages", but I doubt any qualified lawyer would take it on that basis ... too many accidents and other tort cases in FL, to feast on.
Which makes it a "pay as you get billed" action. The Defendants would likely be a sampling of STR owners and the Developer. Given the Developer's resources and track record, he could (& would) throw millions at the case.
I suppose it would be possible to file an action against a small sampling of STR owners and keep the Developer out of it. Whether he would stay out of it, is another story.
If someone was to do the organizing and put together a group of people who felt strongly enough to invest some money into exploring litigation, I'd certainly participate. I'm just not good at the "organizing" part. It would essentially be a "crowd sourcing" endeavor in the beginning ... maybe even a GoFundMe type arrangement.
