I would bet these greeters look out for potential "suspicious" looking occupants of cars and make a special note of it, just in case a crime is committed on that particular day in that particular village.

So really to sum up this gate issue the facts of the matter are: The person at the gate provides an added piece of mind for residents by potentially deterring crime while the cameras record the automobile license plate numbers, they slow down traffic so the golf cars can cross safely, they create a look of exclusivity for our community which I feel adds to the value of our homes, they create jobs for resident villagers and in addition I think its always nice to see a smiling face with a wave welcoming me home. Why would anyone bash the gates and their greeters, be thankful we have them.
