Default Re: Security Gates

Clearly this is not a gated community. Frankly I'm uncomfortable with a gated community, because it means, among other things, that if there were a problem or disaster, there is only one way out--and everyone is stuck there at the same time! And even though TV is not a gated community, there are villages within it that are like gated communities in this sense--only one way in and out--that I would not be comfortable living in. I think of the gates functioning primarily to slow traffic down analogous to residential streets being designed with curves rather than straight as arrows, more so than serving a security function.
