I almost agree with you.
Publix < Walmart < Anywhere else
I hate Walmart, but if you're looking for something specific and Publix doesn't have it what else can you do.

I have to completely disagree. Publix prices are high but that’s the only complaint I have about them.

Honestly I really don’t understand your dislike for Publix.

They're very nice stores, the employees are friendly and the sandwiches and deli is great, I can agree on that. The prices are very high and they have a very limited selection though. My biggest complaint is most people in this area just don't seem to know any better and accept Publix, there's no real competition. There are a lot of items as a result that just aren't available in our area at all and if you want decent prices you're forced to go to Walmart or Aldi. I suppose originally coming from an area that had multiple grocery chains that each would put Publix to shame it's just a little frustrating.

Very glad to see this kind of development in Central Florida but I wish they could partially tuck the parking under the buildings instead of having a sea of parking surrounding the buildings. We live somewhere with a large second home/tourist community and it's next to impossible to find starter apartments or places for the summer workers to live. Here's to hoping the apartments are not run like college dorms and that they run a shuttle to the parks or other job centers to lessen the traffic.

They will be dorms. TDO has proven this is how they run these developments. Parking under the buildings? TDO does not really care how this looks, it is at the end of the road out of sight of the GP for the most part.

We have Wegmans and it beats Publix and Walmart and I've have shop at all 3.

Have they started to work on the Western Way extension?

Lots of activity this week

There are standard orange and white construction barriers on each end of the immediate
construction site where the heavy equipment is today, this is the second location this week on the long ago, previously cleared land.

If they slam 8 to a unit they get 3200 a month for that unit. Even at half that it is above market rates.

A nice little profit from the indentured servants AKA CP'ers

Difference is Publix is employee owned (to an extent) and pays a living wage. Thats reason enough to shop there

Photo update as of Wednesday, December 11, 2019. Across the street (Flamingo Crossings) from Disney's Housing complex, these elevator shafts have appeared for "The Westerly" four-story apartments.

Further to the Disney Profiteer argument, the sign in front of the reported CM apartments indicates it will be an American Campus community. Don't know if they're just building and managing for Disney, or if they own the project, but it's definitely aggregated housing and therefore essentially a commercialized college dorm. They have two other projects in Orlando, both adjacent to UCF.

the site that shall not be named said a bunch of restaurants are coming here too. 5 guys and others. I refuse to give clickbait clicks to find out what other places were announced

...as per usual

The CPs in DLR probably have it better since CA recently legalized recreational pot. In WDW, you probably get a one way ticket back home if caught in CP housing.

Just because it's legal, doesn't mean Disney allows it

Yea they will probably find a way but the law states you can smoke pot in the privacy of your home.

A cast member living in CP housing is not in “their” home.

If they pay any rent, then yes, it is.

Not exactly.

They pay rent. Paying rent doesn’t make something yours nor does it enable you to do whatever you want in the space. Landlords can restrict tenants from smoking.

In case anyone else was also confused. There ARE apparently apartments (non CP Housing) coming to Flamingo Crossings. However, the apartments are not what is shown in the OP. CP Housing East is shown in the OP.

You can see the apartments (non-CP Housing) going up here:
