Meanwhile I can easily take my golf cart to the one in Lady Lake off Griffin Ave. Takes me 7 minutes by golf cart.

The Post Office could make all of The Villages one zip code. Or several.
There are many places in the US where a single zip code serves two or more communities, even multiple incorporated cities.
I'm not saying it's a good idea (one neg issue is some or all people & businesses having to change zip codes), but the PO, being a quasi-federal agency, can do whatever it wants with zip codes & zip code boundaries. Local governments, HOAs, VCDDS, and individuals can support or oppose, but in the end the PO has 100% control over zip codes and opening & closing POs. Fed legislators can and do force PO decisions via carrot & $tick. But that's on a different level.
