EVERYBODY knows this!
And also once again, I would say that it matters NOT, and not anything, about what the land was used for BEFORE THE VILLAGES purchased it. It could have been used for passenger pigeon races, snipe hunts, or a drag strip. The Villages has the wherewithal to turn about anything into anything. They could cut trees, they could plant saplings, they could have brought in mature palms or other trees. It ONLY matters what they DO AFTER they buy land. What they usually do after they buy land is move in GIANT EARTH MOVING equipment and TEAR the crappola out of anything animal or vegetable that gets in their way. Then they do homes and golf courses or WHATEVER they want. Lately, they have REALIZED that younger 50-year-olds are NOT quite as enamored by the large, long golf courses as other sports (like softball) and the shorter pitch and putt courses. So, they are bending to demand......like "bend the knee" in Game of Thrones. I hope this prevents my further getting misquoted.
