YEP! Absolutely needed. 100%.
Some of the entryways make it impossible to see cars coming to know when it's safe to cross in a golf cart. MOST, actually, due to the neighborhood signs blocking the view of cars coming.
Why aren't those signs higher up or farther from the golf cart crossing or something, so it's safe for golf carts to cross?
You can usually see from your golf cart if a gate is up or down, though, even if you can't see the actual car stopped behind the gate. Those gates are so valuable for crossing in a golf cart.
Anyway, I imagine these gates save people from countless car/golf cart accidents, including some deaths.
Also, WHY would they be talking about getting rid of this life-saving feature after all of these years? I think the usual "follow the money" theory explains this. Only reason I can see is so there's more money in the pockets of the people who sign the checks to pay the bills due on the gates.
And the homeowners surely won't ever see the CDD ("CDD"?) fee go down in accordance with that money saved.
