Two gates would be required for each entrance, one for entry and one for exit. It's hard to imagine the cost for the gate, the pedestal, the reader, the electronics behind it, and the cabling would come to less than $500 per gate ($1000 per entry). Then, many postal stations and some rec centers have two entrances so those would cost at least double.

Once you have all those gate installed you'll have to deal with the traffic backups as cars line up to wait for their turn to search for their cards (you said no red button) and wait for the gate to open.

I'll be the first in line to say that I don't want to pay the additional amenity fee to fund that mess!
