That would be a great start for them to build a pool and a rec center of their own for meetings and get togethers – even have the bocce and shuffleboard courts. They can then charge every home an amenity fee of say $50 a month - again using the 100 home number - that would be $5000 a month for upkeep. They would have a place to call their own – and any of their family members that live in the Villages would be able to spend quality time at Bison Valley – which would now have similar recreational options available.

You are right, it would be a good way for them to have their own facilities. The problem I see is with your last statement, "They would have a place to call their own – and any of their family members that live in the Villages would be able to spend quality time at Bison Valley – which would now have similar recreational options available." Isn't that the same problem, only in reverse now?
