Letting everyone in by pressing a button is just not "Safe!"
All legitimate businesses should file for a sticker to be scanned, and all guests should have to talk to someone as they press the button to see a resident in that community by speaking with a Village employee, like most communities do outside of The Villages.
Like it or not all of us live on public streets!
The Villages is not and never was a gated community!!!!
