False sense of security?
As has been mentioned, TV is not really a gated community. I remember the the north entrance gate in Mulberry being stuck open for days. We are currently staying in River Wilderness in Parrish, FL. The gates here have an actual person at all hours. Very safe feeling.

I like our gates the way they are. They slow down traffic enough that carts can safely cross over roads. They keep people from barreling around like teenagers. They look nice.
Our law enforcement group; Sumter County Sheriff, Marion County Sheriff, Lady Lake Police Department and now Wildwood and Fruitland park police departments work very well together, share information and don't all act like Prima Donna's. Community Watch drives through our neighborhoods at night when we are sleeping, watching and looking. The fact that most of us are retired and know to call the police when something or someone looks out of place is a huge help in keeping us safe. For those who are new and feel the need to reorganize and change things, please wait a couple of years and see how things work very well the way they are.

I really don't mind flashing my card. I don't mind getting my arm wet or (LOL) wear and tear on my window motor but your idea is better. Cameras can record who comes and goes. |

How many gates? How much per gate? Who pays? We pay. Fiscally conservative Gracie.

The Villages would still give the appearance of a gated community. The gates would open automatically, after a few seconds, and still serve as traffic control. Our Law Enforcement Group would still work well together, and Community Watch would still patrol. For years, the Belvedere Gate opened automatically after about a five second wait. A lot of people didn't realize it would open automatically and still used their cards. When they installed the golf cart gate, they changed the car gate system to always requiring a card. It was very handy to have the gate open automatically.

Gate keys are a total waste of time.First off the villages is replacing gates that have been hit every single day.Next they stop no one form entering.Charles Mason and his family could use a gate to enter,if he wasn`t in prison.Pain in the neck opening your window in the pouring down rain to go threw a gate.

My defending post on gates was directed at this post which I should have quoted. I wasn't paying attention. Trying to find my squirt gun for the smart mouth and the fairy jab..
