And since so many gates are not in a location to regulate golf cart/highway interfaces, the real reason...is patently an 'Us Vs. Them' issue.
Which is a microcosm of a much, much...larger problem. 
I chuckle at the thought of the 'Us Only' crowd's reaction were the counties to build gates on other county roads, that while they could still be traversed (as the public roads they are)...would require stopping and pushing a button.

I don't think I am alone in welcoming all who want to come here and visit us and support our local business and enjoy all entertainment and dining in the squares and buy tickets for the Sharon.
I am very glad that there are no golf carts allowed in from other communities, not because they would damage the cart paths, but because we don't really need anymore than those owned by people who legitimately live here. I wouldn't encourage people who live in other communities to use our rec centers or pools either.
