Why have them at all ? No way to know for sure, but, perhaps it's just another piece in the jig-saw puzzle of "gates and gate attendants", passes to enter the "gates" at $50 each (don't know the present cost, but when we built, at closing you were required to purchase TWO passes, regardless of only having one auto, regardless if only one person, etc. No exceptions, no pointing out that a card was not needed to enter public roads ! ? Also part of the puzzle, country clubs where the advertising says, everyone is a member, when actually they are public restaurants where anyone can dine, and where anyone can golf as long as they pay. Not saying any of this is "bad", but many MANY people just seem to have the illusion that this is a very private, every exclusive, enclave ! ? It does not take long to find another posting from a frustrated resident who does not understand why the development is "over run" with "outsiders" (seemingly those who do not live IN one of he villages) are doing here at the squares, in the country clubs, etc. ! ?
I don't remember what well know entrepreneur said: You SELL the SIZZLE, not the steak".
