Michelle and John Lux wake up every morning in their one-story home in Kissimmee and gaze out over hundreds of acres of tranquil pasture land. But that picturesque view may soon be covered — by 3,000 homes.
The Luxs have lived in this house for two years but still own their first home nearby, purchased 25 years ago. Their old home now sits in a cramped subdivision, where development and traffic surged as the area grew. Thinking they could escape the crowded living, Michelle and John bought a second place on a few acres of land off peaceful Hilliard Isle Road.

Across Osceola County residents complain of mushrooming development, filling public hearings to let city and county commissioners know they’re angry over traffic, crowding and visual clutter. The Luxs took a different approach.
