They've already stated they have zero intention of maintaining it as an equestrian venue. They wanted to put in affordable housing for families. I doubt anyone else will want to buy it, especially any developer if they already know in advance that it ain't gonna happen.
So if you can't eat the whole pie at once, throw it out? Density is a huge issue and just how "affordable" would these homes have been after development? Not all low income housing is as inexpensive as that on the historic side. And, of course, poorer medical services should be everyone's wish since this area can't handle the influx now. Florida will probably be wall to wall houses in 20 years, so hang in there... purgatory is waiting.
