This is sort of related. I recently met a 30ish gal who attended your local high school. Obviously it was years ago (maybe 13 or so). Her concern with our plan to move to the villages is that when she lived there the high school kids in the area had nothing to do, so they were major into drugs and drinking. She said it was a bad scene for the villages as some of the seniors and their homes were easy targets to support these kids drug habits. She was very glad when they moved away.

Will I ever get to the villages?
What do they want to do? There are gates, but as people have said, the gates are just for show and to take photos of the people entering through the gates; you can go anywhere in this big old world that you want.
