I couldn't guess as to how many clone cards are in circulation/use over the years, but each one would be taking away $$ or rubs against whom ever has the contract as the service provider.
None of this is about making life better for residence, because if it was, the realization that the entire antiquated system needs an overhaul/update to, oh maybe updated to circa year 2000'sh tech perhaps. (sarcasm)
There are countless fairly simple programs out there in use right now that utilize decal type scannable's, 1/3rd the size of a credit card and can be read from 100+ft away w/ vehicles in full motion and can handle millions of scannable's, take pictures/vid, record digi info, automatically open/close gates, etc. all without a single interaction of the driver.
Besides the entire system is rather ineffective as actual "access control" when anyone can hit the red button. Knowledge of, that is fairly widely known outside the villages....NO card needed.

I think you may have hit the nail on the head. That 15 bucks per extra card hits The Villages where they live--the wallet. If they really want to streamline the system do what an earlier post suggested--make the entry gates automatic just like the exit gates. No cards--period.
