The Villages is a quasi-governmental CDD community. I see nothing in the statutes that allows for any association to provide governance for a CDD. Each CDD has a governing board.
The Villages Home Owners Association is not a governing body any more than the POA is and can never be. So do not worry there.
HOWEVER, you do need to worry that the individuals on each CDD board can get out control just like Condo Boards and HOA Boards. I think the saving grace is that a CDD is very limited in its ability to enforce anything that is not included in a recorded deed restriction.
It would be fun and educational to create a workshop to try to predict what this place will be like after the developer is gone; maybe create a handbook of "forbidden" practices by the CDD boards to get out in front of the craziness we see everyday in HOA and COA board decisions.
