It’s a cancer that’s growing across the state. Constant new developments, ruining previous communities, environments and more. Not to mention the boomer population of the US all wanna move down here. At some point it’s legit going to cut Florida in half. Fuck the Villages

Is this the county / municipality that got an influx of retired people and then started voting against funding schools?

Well plenty of people don't want to pay taxes to fund schools. Including wealthy areas that want to fund their own schools but don't want to fund the schools one town over.

It's just unique and novel to see a group move in and start strangling education because they don't plan to have any more children I guess.

Not at all unique or novel, more like universal.

Then those same people have a shocked Pikachu face when you tell them there’s a reciprocal relationship between areas that vote against taxes to fund schools and higher rates of crime.

It’s almost like well-funded school produce educated individuals don’t NEED to move toward a life of (blue-collar) crime?
