It’s a hard no for staffing reasons. The city already has a housing crisis that people ignore because all of the people affected by it don’t actually live in “Orlando” and spend over an hour sitting in traffic to go back to the counties where they vote, or just because they’re usually hourly workers. Look at I-4, Western Way, Reams on Google Maps at 5-6pm… there’s literally no way to accommodate thousands more workers in a way that makes any economic sense to them.
Orlando doesn’t grow like a normal city in the sense that the massive job growth occurs in a condensed location and the suburbs have to take the influx because the majority don’t make the money professional office people make to live close to work. It’s also a geographic mess in that you can’t build across wetlands or bridges across the Butler Chain of Lakes where all the bazillionaires live.
From an urban planning perspective I find Epic Universe to be irresponsible, but yay tourists. It hasn’t actually been established that the city can accommodate that many new jobs. There’s going to be a lot of shifts going on in the labor market as they hoover up people who couldn’t get a job there before, which means lord knows what’s going to happen to things like fast food service in that part of town. And all of the public transportation options/proposals center around how everyone can help the tourists instead of getting people to work, but I guess that’s the price tag on no income tax.
Sorry, rant over.
