This is a golf cart community so the gates have to stay in place for that to work.

So I for one do not think they are a joke and do not want to see them go away.
In addition to enabling safe golf-cart and neighborhood traffic, I think the gates deter crime. Criminals like fast getaways. Gates impede fast getaways.
