How remarkable! Someone posted the EXACT SAME QUESTION - same words even - on one of the Villages Facebook pages! Around 4 months ago. There were dozens of responses too.

The general response was: don't do it, UNLESS you don't care about your neighbors or the community in which you have chosen to buy the property. In which case, do whatever you want.
