If the person refused to straighten up, the person would be trespassed. End of problem.
The funds supporting the Villages Pools are different than the funds supporting the entertainment at the squares. Amenity fees support the pools. The merchants at the squares pay for entertainment. The entertainment department is no longer owned by the developer. The recreation department (pools) is run by the CDD. With CDD monies.

Follow the money. Economics is fascinating.

OR in the event that is too complicated, do as many do on this forum, blame it on the greed of certain entities. I always wonder if those folks tell their kids, grow up but for heavens sake don't leave our home and become a financial success by going into business. Don't come runnin' to me if you become a CEO of something and make a lot of money. Do something simple. Be a drug dealer or work for the government but don't make a lot of money. People will call you greedy. You will bring shame to our family.
