Are you concerned that Florida is unable to meet the desire of wealthy retirees? Because I can assure you, private development of 55+ communities is continuing apace. The Villages metastasizes daily. I'm concerned about eroding what little state and federal resources exist now.
I was recently in the fastest growing county in the mid-Atlantic - flat marshy Sussex County, Delaware. It has excellent birding and nature and stuff, but so much stuff is getting built. It used to be heavy beach traffic in summer but now it's year round with retirees living there.
Yup, this is a concern all over. So perhaps it's worthwhile having centralized agencies to protect land and water set aside for habitat, climate, clean air, and heck the economic impact of locals and visitors who love to explore nature? And provide a pool of centralized resources to support?
