CW for the most part is staffing the important entries. The public/private makeup of TV makes a gated community concept a moot point...mentioned many times here. CDD site makes that point clear. CW has an observe and report only function... they're not LEO. Do you need gates and cards, not necessarily. But what you do need to maintain a consistent quality of life is deterrents. What's in place, while not perfect, serves that (limited) purpose.
