Default another reason for gates?
Seems to me that the gates do one thing well - slow down cars to keep the roadways safer for golf cart crossings. I don't think they should be taken down for just that reason.

I also think that the Villages is so big, and there are so many deliveries and service vehicles coming in and out that traffic would be slowed to a crawl if we had truly gated communities. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the crime rate really really low?
