Does not work that wayEminent domain.

And would have nearly no way to justify using eminent domain for affordable housing.In addition, the District would have to pay fair market value for any property.
And all these years Disney worked hard at valuing the land as low as possibleIn addition, the District would have to pay fair market value for any property.

You guys aren't real good at recognizing sarcasm.For one, to dissolve a municipality will have taxing consequences. By both FL Constitution and statute, a chartered municipality can only be dissolved by:
1. Special session of the Florida Legislature, or
2. Ordinance of the governing body approved by voters within the legal boundaries of that municipality.
I don't think there's any will in the Legislature to dissolve a chartered municipality. Especially with an election coming up.
Yes, assessments were challenged to keep the value as low as possibleGuess what? Property value for tax purposes is done by the property appraiser's office. How the property value is reached is governed by statute.
That’s still not the same as market value.Yes, assessments were challenged to keep the value as low as possible
Affordable housing would be a public benefit that has passed muster in the house. It would just have to be a classic “project” owned and operated by the government.And would have nearly no way to justify using eminent domain for affordable housing.
No, assessments were challenged to keep the appraisers office from over valuing the property.Yes, assessments were challenged to keep the value as low as possible
Yes, but I think it would be challenging for a district with nearly no residents to argue they need affordable housing; and that there is no where else it could be built.Affordable housing would be a public benefit that has passed muster in the house.

Same sameNo, assessments were challenged to keep the appraisers office from over valuing the property.
Not exactlySame same
My comment was more tongue in cheek but..how many employees, AKA cast members, working in the district are living in cars seedy motels etc. Demonstrating the need for affordable housing wouldn’t be that challenging.Yes, but I think it would be challenging for a district with nearly no residents to argue they need affordable housing; and that there is no where else it could be built.

The affordable housing is being built in the highlighted land above just north of Flamingo Crossings near the Waterleigh developments off Hartzog Road. Most likely it will just be de-annexed after being built.
They have been having community meetings with Horizon West homeowners to discuss the future project.

Most of the land that we consider to be the parks and the surrounding green acres is owned by Disney. The RCID only owned strips of land along hiways and small plots, unless I'm missing something looking at the maps.
So, within WDW, there's no RCID land that can really by built on. And some of that may be under wetland conservation. And the "11th hour" contract keeps that from happening, too.
That only leaves RCID the option of buying property outside of WDW and building on that in the surrounding towns. You know, build a prison or two nearby or in Gold Oaks.
