I found Ross Chapin/ Architect and Author of "Pocket Neighborhoods" about 7years ago and fell in LOVE! I've sent his book to 2 of our city council members and 1 local developer here in Northwest FL. Everyone runs around and screams we can't make the #'s work...we can't build these types of communities...at the end of the day it comes down to profit margins...how little are the developers willing to accept and how much is the community willing to give. Thank you for sharing the pro forma , it's good info.
Except...maybe climate refugees plus the availability of multigigabit symmetrical FTTP from a local special-purpose municipality...makes higher rents achievable. Seems like Fairlee with an interstate and tremendous rec opportunities will be utterly transformed over the next 10-20 years (like it or not).
I know Fairlee has municipal water, but do they have a municipal wastewater system? If not, how was your experience with developing a wastewater solution from your Fairlee project?

Agreed. Lot of opportunities to build, just need to be conscious of where market is currently. 10-20 years could look entirely different
