Default One big positive thing about all our gates to remember

Saturday, Sunday, 11:00 at night, etc. the gate will open as soon as you pull up to it. This is not what I would call a secure community. After 5 or so on weekdays and all day Sat. and Sunday, you shouldn't be able to enter without your gate pass. What's the deal?
Eventually (assuming you are new based upon few post) you will cross that same gate intersection on a golf cart and be very happy that all cars hv to stop. The gates closing prevent a lot of accidents.... Everywhere
