Why is it that the vast majority of residents applaud the Developer's genius but then complain about the gate system? Did the Developer have a senior moment here?

And what does it say about people's driving habits who crash through these gates? Are they distracted? inpatient?

The gates are separated as to resident/visitors because residents have gate passes and do not need attention while visitors need assistance and perhaps directions from gate keepers.

The gates are a welcoming sight, useful and adds to our security

Don't you geniuses who lambast the developer for putting in gates, roundabouts, etc., think that before any of this was done, traffic flow experts were hired and studied traffic patterns and safety? What makes any of you an expert of the layouts and locations of the roundabouts and gates? Show your degree before you put your ill informed naysaying into print in this forum.
The topic has been discussed and abused ad nauseum. IT IS TME FOR THE MODERATOR TO CLOSE THIS THREAD and stop the nonsense.

not that i disagree with roundabouts, but sarcastically calling the people whose opinion differs with the "experts," in a forum designed to allow people to express their opinions, is wrong. And remember, it is the same "experts" who designed the mess on colony and the golf cart path.

Having a degree in engineering and realizing that pressing a red button on the gate to raise it should give rise to the idea it is not a closed and gated community.

Anyhow, between getting a golf point on rainy days, loud movies, and not liking the roundabouts and the gates - you could still make a nice profit on selling your house and finding a true gated community. Best of luck in your endeavors.
