(Or even, I'm sorry, but you're doing a terrible job and we are letting you go) Good luck in the future. You would feel exactly the same in those two situations? Is that what you're saying? If you were fired, you wouldn't feel that you were owed an explanation why?
That gate has been there, from what I now understand, for over twenty years. People have used it every day. People have made important life decisions based on that gate being there. And now, with no explanation it's just closed.
Like I said, if there is a good reason for it, I would be very disappointed and unhappy, but at least I would be able to understand.
Also the fact that it was done in this way and that no one from the Villages will give and explanation and have stated that they were told to say nothing by their superiors sounds at the very least a bit suspicious. If it were done for a good reason, it would have been made public. Sometimes silence speaks volumes.

Doesn't in any way change the fact that I'm out of a job. Or that a wall is up. Who cares about the manner. Doesn't change the outcome in any way.
Another example which may have some relevance: If I won a huge lottery and wanted to quit my job I would never give notice. The problem? Liability. The fact that I now have deep pockets would give some people a thought to sue me over something that they never would have before. As a nurse we do things on a daily basis that COULD put us at risk. Not the kindest thing to do to my employer but I'd have to watch out for liability. I'll bet that is what is happening here - something might have had to happen quick and sudden to avoid further risk of liability.
