Long-time Florida residents (those going back to the '60's and '70's) curious about the history of Florida are quite familiar with the Reedy Creek Improvement District. The district has almost total autonomy within its borders (including the ability to construct a nuclear power plant, if it so wished) and an exemption to state zoning and land use laws (including eminent domain). If they have a TFR, all they are doing is expanding their already powerful influence "up".
