Default Never was intended to be a gated community.

You have been misled. The Villages was never meant to be a "gated" community.

The gates are there as traffic control devices. They slow people down. And the cameras at the gates take a picture of every car and person who enters. The streets are PUBLIC streets that can be accessed by anybody. That's what the red buttons are for.

The gatekeepers (where they exist) are there to give directions, greet people, and keep an eye on what is going on (among other things).
