It would cost a lot more then "some money".
The cost of paving,repairing and maintenance would only be a start. Since it would then be a private community we would have to pay for our own trained and armed security-police force.
The cost of things would force a lot of people to sell and that would drive the price of homes down for the ones that stayed.
Our best bet is to support the police agencies that patrol here and ask for a stepped up presence in the areas where any vandalism occures.
If in fact the cameras are adjusted correctly and there is a discription of the vehicle (plate number) then a little detective work should pay off.
It would help if the public was to know of any areas of vandalism so the residents could be on the watch for anything out of the ordinary, but I doubt that we will see anything posted in the paper or on the radio.
IMHO
