If there is a good reason for it's closing I think that Villages residents are owed, at the very least an explanation.
And that, really, is the heart of the matter, good doctor.

Any attempt to propose an "innocent" reason as to why the wall was built - liability issues, closing a gap, keeping out pesky neighbors, reducing street noise for a handful of residents - has to include an explanation as to why it was done at 6 o'clock on a Saturday morning.

I can't believe that the developer was having a hard time sleeping on Friday night and suddenly said to his wife, "You know that gap that has been in existence for twenty years? I really need to get that fixed or the residents of my closed community will be nagging me to do so. Let me call my contractor right now so he can pre-cast a suitable wall section before dawn".
