As far as the gates, this is the way it was when I moved here 14 years ago and I thought it was just fine back then and still fine now. It does slow traffic down and is some what a deterrent to the evil minded knowing that people at the gate saw them.
It does amaze me that when people moved here, everything was a-okay & they loved it. Now they are here and want everything thing to change.
Example.... A couple of friends used to say one of the reasons they moved here is because it was so beautiful with all the flowers. Now they complain and say the Villages doesn't need to change the flowers as much as they do.
Considering we have over 100,000 people, we live in a beautiful and pretty safe community.
