I think we can shut it down now, but suffice it to say:

1. The RFID scan isn't "secure"

2. Unless you have rigged your car/mirror with a tag, it's a bit of an annoyance to have to swipe when you realize it's not doing anything that pushing the red button wouldn't do.

3. As a result of both #1 and #2, many residents would rather keep the gates but ditch the scanning.
Agree except a key motivation for the gate cards is to provide the illusion of a gated community.
