That is fine with me. That makes sense. There is a lot of theft these days of both equipment and supplies.
Someone who most of us respect is apparently upset because his drone pictures are very interesting and not at all in any way doing anything wrong.
I still agree with The Villages. They have a right to protect areas that could be harmed and that is a cost spread to everyone eventually.

Not sure where you may have read that, but the Developer has ZERO authority to ban anything in the airspace above their construction areas. Only the FAA can dictate how the federal airspace is used. The Developer CAN certainly prohibit drone pilots, and anyone else for that matter, from trespassing on their private property. This would prevent drone pilots from using Villages private property for takeoff and landings. But, once that drone is in the air, the Developer has no control over where it flies.
