Wrong. With the exception of the amenities south of 44 (which haven't been turned over yet), the amenities are owned by the CDDs, not the Developer. The amenities fee, which is paid to the CDDs, pays for the amenities. The Developer does get some of the money for the amenities not yet turned over to the CDDs. There is a "Villages 101" class that will explain how this place actually works and who owns what.

They own it, so they have the right to do it as they see fit. No one says you have to like it.

Right?
