    I know growth is here…. But it’s time for a new commissioner in district 5… He will approve every subdivision despite what’s best for our community….. We need forest.. Our wildlife needs forest… That definitely needs to be taken into consideration.. . But it would be nice if stanby a county could get it right for once.. Not to mention the infrastructure up that way isn’t ready for all these homes.. Once again county commissioners.. Build it.. Is in will worry about the infrastructure…

    Unbridled population growth, exodus and mass migration, political/economic refugess from every state, and from every point except Anartica?

    Most think to be free of faulty logic based socioeconomic norms, and the population who supports them, most who wish to grow and have a better life. They see our excellent homestead exemption and no income tax, not to mention that which our values have created here.

    The danger is that some of these newcommes, they may bring the logic/values that ruined their communites, from which they flee, seeking stability/safety amongst us?

    As a fifth generation Floridian that had to move away from Florida due to my job and I have always wanted to come back to live in Florida, but not anymore. This is how many in my family feel now. Poor planning due to greed, State taken over by Con and organized crime.
    The State population is growing but real Floridians are leaving it.

    I suppose population growth in Florida could be slowed by implementing a state income tax. But that will not happen.

    Realistically, a couple more big hurricane hits anywhere near major population centers in Florida will cause massive insurance company pullouts, and Citizens will be the only game in town. That could bring about a growth stoppage or even a reversal in current population trends.

    @do the right thing

    The new transplants from New York, California, and Midwest with big money are scarfing up cheap (comparatively) Florida land and taking over. And our state government can’t roll over fast enough for the short term dough which is forcing long-time Florida residents out of the state.

    All of Herr Duh-Santis blathering about people moving to Florida is really his support for running long-time Floridians out of the state.

    I’m going to cash my marker in when the time is right. 55 acres and a nice home that I won’t bat an eye walking away from because this state has been ruined by 30 years of Republican hegemony. Y’all can keep this backwater as long as you can, but money is coming and you aren’t part of the plan.

    just one question, just whom can afford a lot that large and would want to live in a flood area)?

    This is much like it was a century ago. Small farms dotted the hills. South of Cotton Lake Road was the brick factory and east of it there were houses. However, there is a history of repeated massive flooding, chest deep and more above the railroad. Buyers north or west of CL Rd. will be fine. The new Pine Barren probably won’t get a train station and hotel.

    This development is more in tune with “Keep country, country”

    At least they have accounted for the White Lily Cemetery. Maybe they can clean it up. This one is unique.
