Or is TV governing themselves and they’re on the honor system?

How would they possibly keep track of Airbnb occupants?

TV was able to build sections for families who work in TV is that included in the 80%

Maybe TV keeps track of buyers for legal reasons but in no way with a community this large can they keep track of every household and who is living in it.
HUD, (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development) is the Federal agency responsible for administering the retirement community law. I don't think they do audits, but they require retirement communities to have written procedures in place to ensure compliance with the law. These procedures are approved by HUD. Anyone can file a complaint with HUD if they feel they are being negatively affected by non-compliance with the law. In that case, it would be the responsibilty of The Villages to provide evidence that they are in compliance. The Villages could also be fined or sued by HUD for non-compliance with the law. I don't think The Villages would need to keep track of every household to provide sufficient evidence of compliance with the 80/20 rule.
