"The Developer" is clearly a clever businessperson who would want to maximize his profit. Knowing/believing that there will be no end to demand in the Villages and seeing a nationwide increase in price due to a shortage of inventory it would make sense to keep the supply tight here as well. On the other hand, shortages in materials and labor and a high demand would also limit the number of homes that could be built while burning through any available inventory.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
