It was a joke...hence the little winky face.

I guess I have a hard time taking jokes.
I went to school up north not in the south.
South Florida Water Management District permit for a Walgreen at Flamingo Crossing.

Yeah I remember back in 08,09 how bad the neighborhoods were by the old splendid china. Very tumbleweedy. What's mind boggling is the cost of housing. Many of the homes in these new neighborhoods start at 3 or 4 hundred thousand. Over by Orange County National golf course is amazing how much building is going on. Use to be in the sticks.

LOL, come on guys. This is a message board not a spelling bee. I make spelling mistakes everyday and have to go back. You don't even think about it until you reread your posts.
Impressive that they included the store's logo.

If that first photo is indeed housing and not a hotel, I'm impressed that it's at least not a "matchstick" structure.
... BTW, if you click the link and just look at the photos in the article, you won't understand the reference.
Just noticed that a permit was first filed for this in December of 2011.

September was our first time out at Flamingo Crossing and I was shocked that there is really nothing there yet. After all this talk about what is going there I would have thought more would be built by now.

Walt Disney World, even after Walt died, was designed as a people centered, mass transit planned resort, the direct opposite of what it’s become.

Don’t be, CMU is still very much the “matchstick” of Florida.If that first photo is indeed housing and not a hotel, I'm impressed that it's at least not a "matchstick" structure.

The proof is in the designs.
That doesn’t require building boxes in a sea of asphalt.
I would not be too impressed. The choice to build with block is often dictated by the wind code. Once you get into central Florida, it becomes less expensive to build with block and meet code than to build with wood and meet code.If that first photo is indeed housing and not a hotel, I'm impressed that it's at least not a "matchstick" structure.

Have you seen the "EPCOT" film in its entirety? It is available on YouTube and other places. It was filmed before Walt died and released to Florida soon after. So it is direct proof of the plans Walt and the company had for The Florida Project at the time of his death and just after. The Experimental Prototype City/Community of Tomorrow was to be a people-centered, mass-transit community, including resort areas.

I’m so sick of everyone moving down here...my neighborhood was out in the country...now it’s urban sprawl with more on the way. Prices for everything keep going up because of it. Makes me want to move.
Your fault for not buying all the property around you.

Really? In the Tampa Bay area, they can't seem to get those wooden ones up fast enough. You can always see them coming because you see the odd cement towers for the elevators pop up a month or so before the wood starts rising.
