Each separate CDD does not, however, administer the finances. There are 3 entities that do that. One of them is the developer for the aforementioned areas still owned by the developer, and the others have acronyms I don't remember, but they pool the money and administer the funds to pay for the amenity infrastructure and maintenance.

You may be technically accurate as to legal ownership, but the amenities are operated by Villages employees, almost all amenities are available for use by all Villages residents, and The Villages establishes consistent rules for using the amenities. Are you saying that a CDD could restrict access to a rec center or pool to residents who don't reside in their CDD because they own it?
