You rule, you know that.. lol

Is there even such thing as affordable new housing anymore?

I was right.

Cole, no there isn't. Saw the new development on S. Courtenay Pkwy in south Merritt Island, starting price for new home...$500,000. Wonder what income will qualify you for a 60 year mortgage

I saw that, they are putting in something like 37 homes on a 15 acre plot so that is about 15k sq.ft. of lot after the roads and infrastructure. Hear they are actually in the 580k range. If they are using ICF construction and making the houses really, really nice...maybe. Also, hope the height limit in Sat Beach is upheld. Cocoa Beach went through that a decade ago and I think the height limit is now something like 83', thanks in a large part to the Green Party Vice Mayor at the time, and he took a lot of heat over that.

We are still at four stories I believe, but the extra height of ac units and whatnot have been given some leeway.



-------------------------
I was right.

We need to press them tonight on adding a max height of 85', which is still a lot. The way it reads now there is no max height and we know that will be taken advantage of in the future.

I think that is where Cocoa beach started, but the city got sued by developers and it didn't stick, so the next time around the height was shortened even more. Long story short, in the end it ended up being four stories.

I was right.

you can still buy a house a block or two from the beach for under 300k. pretty much the only place in florida you can still do that. some south patrick homes transplanted as is same distance from beach to other communities in state would be 1+ mil
