The real question is, "How does the Developer get by without disclosing the amount of the bond when he advertises house prices?" Isn't this deceptive advertising?

A prospective buyer, comparing advertised prices of houses in The Villages versus other retirement communities, has no way of knowing that the Developer is understating the real price of new houses by as much $33,000 (or more when you consider the interest and "administration" fee).
