Without the gates providing flow control, it would be dangerous for golf carts crossing the entrances to the Villages. Sorry you don’t agree but that is the reality of the situation. Language such as “brainwashing” is disingenuous, at best, and should be avoided.

When there are back-to-back cars in line to get through a village gate, there is not "ample time" for a golf cart to cross between them! It's virtually impossible unless a driver leaves some room and lets the golf cart pass. Back-to-back cars waiting to pass through the gate do not provide any time or space for a golf cart. Period!
My use of brainwashing is not disingenuous. The developer, has passed on to Villages' real estate agents, the thought that each village is part of a gated community, making would-be buyers think they are buying into a safe and secure gated community. The agents may not lie when asked direct questions, but that is the illusion they attempt to create.

This is real easy to resolve. There are 50,000 golf carts in TV, and EVERY SINGLE DRIVER OF ONE knows that there is ample time to cross behind the gates. The statement "I did own a golf cart for quite a while and subsequently, chose to sell it" simply does not pass the smell test. And for those that don't want to be "second-guessed", all I can state is:
