I grew up walking the Shingle Creek nature trails and it's heartbreaking to see what's happening to the area.

I don't want my tax dollars being used to rescue people who get trapped when that area floods. Or to bail them out. If you want to pave over an area prone to flooding, perhaps you should ask the developer who sold you the land for help.

It's worth noting that this area is literally the headwater to the Everglades, and the flooding situation is already getting worse every year. The water levels are rising, and the consequences are severe.

Unfortunately, there will be people who make uninformed decisions and buy into this development despite the risks.

The people who will be affected by flooding are living in existing neighborhoods within the watershed. Many of them experienced flooding during a recent storm, and I'm worried that my own home, which barely flooded before, will be severely affected in the next storm due to this development's impact.

Developers in Florida often seem to have a get-out-of-jail-free card. Once they've cleared the land, built their properties, and collected their payments, they have no accountability. They can build wherever and however they want, as long as they have the funds to do so.

As someone who lives in Hunters Creek, less than 5 miles from this proposed development, I'm seriously considering investing in good flood insurance for my family. The thought of potential flooding is unsettling.

Residents who oppose the project have raised concerns about the impact on local wetlands and the potential for flooding downstream in Osceola County. However, the development team disputes the flooding concern.
