Good news for some, bad news for others. It'll definitely change their way of life.
Doesn't start till 2030 and will take 50 years to build out. A lot of things can change in 56 years.

It's not a matter of if but of when, like cyclist said it's happening everywhere. It will help provide jobs for all the people in the logging/lumber business that lost their jobs with the closing of the mills.

Almost everyone lives in/on a location someone else didn't want to be built on.

There are other more suitable places to do this in my opinion. It is sad to think about what Florida will be like in 50 years. I wont be here unless I live to be 106, but my kids will be. I have always thought what it was like in the 1820's when my first relative arrived to North Central Florida. He lived outside Newnansville and is buried there along with the rest of my family.

I have always thought what it was like in the 1820's when my first relative arrived to North Central Florida. He lived outside Newnansville and is buried there along with the rest of my family. ”The word "hammock" comes from the Spanish "hamaca," meaning "a highly arable type of soil." I wanted to name my book "Golden Apples," "Hamaca," and to indicate the triumphs and defeats that different kinds of men have encountered in this hammock country, but it was believed that the name would be so strange no one would buy the book. I like to think of the Spaniards blazing their trails through the Florida hammocks. The hammocks were the same then as now, and will be the same forever if men can be induced to leave them alone.Hammock soil is dark and rich, made up of centuries of accumulation of humus from the droppings of leaves. The hammock is marked by its type of trees, and these are the live oak, the palm, the sweet gum, the holly, the ironwood and the hickory and magnolia. We have high hammock and low hammock, and oak hammock and palm hammock, and there is likely to be a body of water nearby. The piney woods and the flat-woods are more open and therefore perhaps more hospitable, in spite of their poorer soil and dryness, but the hamaca shares with marsh and swamp the great mystery of Florida.” -M.K.Rawlings from Cross Creek. My grandparents of the Depression/WWII generation assumed the Florida woods would always be. Seems to have been a common mentality of the older generations that grew up close to the woods. Left to my own imperfect and sinful devices, some of my darkest curses would be reserved for the masses that treat Florida’s environment like a whore to screw and leave bloody in the ditch when they’re done. Just as the whore was someone’s daughter or sister, so Florida was someone’s pristine paradise. And just as the whoremonger would protect his daughter or sister from the same abuse the whoremonger happily visits on the whore he doesn’t respect, so the developers here look with vigilant nostalgia for their own woods and farmlands from the places they come from. Our Florida developer who gladly destroys the woods here would rage over someone paving over the family farm and surrounding woods in upstate New York.

As I posted in another thread, what the hell do these people do for a living to be able to buy these homes where there are not many good paying jobs, be able to have their toys and lifestyle and do it all by moving from another state or expensive area of Florida? The same is going on here in Bay county and the majority are not retirees. They are in their 30’s-50’s with families. There are some good paying jobs but not enough to support this growth.

Might be a good thing. Better opportunities for folks isn't always a bad thing. The world is growing and people need places to live.

Staging......inpact fees for fiscal reasons......timing of turn over of roads such that the county does not eat the first fix while the developer is still the one doing most of the trashing with heavy equipment.......and more. It's how that can matter. And.....eliminate the nonsense of forced "workforce" and "low income" housing. Let them build as expensive as they want, which'll translate into less density, more property taxes, lower school and other services impacts and better environmental outcomes. And......it'll eliminate the backdoor subsidization of low wages that businesses get by forcing them to offer more for employees. And I just gored both the left and the right.......so off we go to politics............

They were supposed to build 2 more nukes in Levy Co. My old boss is from there and I was going to move there when they built them. But the dumbasses at Crystal River kinda screwed the pooch on that for all of us.

Lots of people who live in Chiefland work in Gainesville and at U.F. You would be surprised at the number who make that drive every day. One company I worked for the receptionist/secretary lived in Old Town and drove to Gainesville every day. A lot of the medical staff at Shands live out of the county. Used to be you got more house and more land for less money. Not sure about now.
