I just bought a CYV and am in the process of moving in. I don't see many reasons why I would use my gate. To get things in and out of the yard yes, but that wouldn't be often. I don't see many other reasons to use the gate since I have no grass in my CYV. I don't have an issue with someone going in their own yard even if they have to traverse a small portion of my driveway. Everyone knows that when they buy. Even if your not told that outright, common sense tells you that the only way in the gate is by walking on part of the neighbors driveway. And yes my small dog will love the small fenced yard.. Also I love the low maintenance feature of a CYV and my location. I would think the main reasons that people buy them.
