I'm not talking about the internal community village rules, but the local government/council permits to construct dozens of houses on farmland. For instance where I live farmland is cheap until it has permission to build a house on it, then it's much more expensive. If you could buy it then get permission to build 50 houses on it, you would make many millions the instant after the rezoning. Thus, the rich with connections in local politics do this crowding out the communities like these guys. I suspect their secret sauce is local government connections and lobbying / legal expertise to rezone.
