I am VP of the Drone Flyers Club of The Villages and Don Wiley is President. Our club educates drone flyers and promotes safety and respect for others while flying drones.
You could be VP of United Airlines and you'd still be wrong and a perfect example of why a drone "pilot" isn't in the same universe as someone with an FAA Airmen's Certificate.

I didn't look at a Sectional to see what is or isn't Class G airspace over The Villages but I can assure you, that doesn't mean there are "no restrictions". It means some portion of the airspace over The Villages is "uncontrolled airspace". Uncontrolled Airspace is a world apart from "no restrictions".

You really should get your terms straight and understand what you're talking about.
