The streets in the Villages are public so none of them will ever be gated. Don't forget that gated communities must pay for their own street resurfacing and repairs and no one in the Villages wants to absorb THAT cost!
Just as a point of interest, there is usually more crime in gated communities than non-gated because the the image which is created is that the residents have more expensive things and more of them.
Gated or not, when a burglar wants to get in, he probably will.
