True, but I don't think California is really hiding that they're pro-regulation

If they were renters, I don't think so. Flamingo Crossings (DCP housing) sits on RCID land, but is considered Winter Garden.

Good question. Assuming they can find some suitable land to build on within city limits, I believe it would grant those residents voting power. There's already a sort-of "workforce housing" regime in place right now, except in this case, at least presumably, it would be open to more than just the people Disney selects to live in it.

Who is going to pay for such housing?
It's considered unincorporated Orange County with a Winter Garden address.

The middle is lost in all of this, and we wonder why so many people don’t vote in this country.
Once again I’m left dreaming of a European style election with a half dozen parties of varying ideologies rather than the horrible 2 party system we have.

There are, lots of them. They just don't get the attention and unfortunately are outnumbered at the primaries when most people don't vote. As an example, DeSantis just lost a large number of high level donors over his recent exploits. Hopefully they retake control of the party one of these days.
Edit: Just saw someone else mentioned the doner thing as well. Gives me hope that rational people are out there and willing to actually work towards something instead of the endless "grievance" politics.

The RCID map says it's "unincorporated RCID", and when you leave the WDW sign on Western Way and keep driving towards Flamingo, there's a sign that says "Entering RCID", the trash cans under the pedestrian bridges say "RCID" as well. Is it not considered RCID? I'm just wondering

One has to assume DeSantis truly believes what he claims that he does.
If that is the case, I’m not sure it is totally driven by a desire for increased power.
If he truly feels children’s lives are at risk by being taught about sexual matters before the 3rd grade, and a major company in the state is actively attacking / pushing against his view that it’s dangerous, then it is only natural for him to react the way he has.
Compounded with the snarky response of the company and the legions of defenders of it, one can see how it would only lead to further tensions.
Is DeSantis innocent here? Absolutely not, but neither is Disney. They are just as much culpable in regards to what has happened to this point as he is.

I would love to get rid of the two party system because they are both ran by $ and personal benefit, not common sense or for the people

It is, but if it's outside of of a municipality, it's considered an unincorporated part of that county.

Threatening to build a prison is such theatrical nonsense. Even if it happened, the only downside would be if was super tall or something and somehow interfered with sightlines.
It wouldn't have impact any more than a Haunted Mansion show building we never see.
If the threat is, ooh, dangerous prisoners, again it's a non-issue. To paraphrase the great George Carlin, there's no danger being next to a prison. If someone breaks out, they are not hanging around. They are out of there. We're not going to see some violent offender in an orange jumpsuit stroll into Epcot.

In most hot topic issues I believe this, the opposing sides both truly believe they are doing the right thing… but DeSantis has repeatedly said this is about retaliation, this isn’t about protecting kids, it’s about harming Disney for daring to oppose HIM.
This is about HIM and nothing else.

The municipalities create issues. That was part of the problem with dissolution. The counties had no way of just taxing Disney because they can only create districts over unincorporated land.

There is no equal culpability here, because DeSantis is the government in this scenario. The government should never have the right to punish individuals (and corporations have legal status as an individual) over political choices. There's little difference between this and the state government repossessing your house because you made political donations to the opposing party.
If DeSantis was a private citizen using his money to fund opposition to Disney, then sure. No issues there.
