If you search for pre-owned homes that are 20 years old, I would venture to say that you will find that the bonds are paid off. If you add $38K to the price of the home, you will almost double the price of the same home price of those outside of the Villages. Charging for infrastructure separately is like giving you the price of a home and telling you that the cost of plumbing is a separate charge, or the price of electrical wiring is a separate charge. BUT, if you want to live in the Villages you will pay whatever you are willing to pay to live the "lifestyle." To some, $38k is nothing and to others it is a deal breaker.
