I can't disagree the battle will be lopsided likely unfair, and maybe risky...

But you don't need a drone given information can be found in public records (e.g. permits) and most everything is now visible from public roads. The skill is knowing how to piece together the puzzle.

For example, easy to know what the next Village be will be - they start the mail station first.

The Villages has its own internal leaks via employees, contractors, suppliers, sales staff, etc. For example, The Middleton and Eastport grocery store info was first disclosed in the Villages map app. Of course that info was removed when someone pointed it out.

Groceries in Middleton/Eastport?

So seems hard to claim these drone guys are disclosing much of anything not already publically available and/or visible to those willing to do the research and put the story together. The drone guys are just telling the story with beautiful videos.
