One thing we didn't do on a visit here was drive through some neighborhoods. We approached a gate and thought we couldn't enter, so we turned around. You can get through any gate, manned or unmanned. The gate attendant will let you in just by asking. They cannot prohibit your passage. If the gate is unmanned, just press the button on the panel and someone at the central location will let you in. It's nice to drive through the neighborhoods to see how people live. You get a little of this on the trolley, but it's nice to explore on your own. It's interesting to see the differences between neighborhoods built recently and those built years ago.
