I doubt it could be put to better use. Community Watch and gate personnel are looking out for your community. Swing by one of the unsupervised neighborhoods in the local area and check out the managers outlook on traffic and crime. Everyone here is free to pursue the lifestyle at will, unencumbered by common traffic issues. I believe the current system should remain as is.
