Why the constant abuse. I have said it before, "the Villagers are their Own Worst Enemy". No need to speculate blame on very nice people, that have no need to use Village Gates.

Cajulian: did you notice the rotfl guy ? apparently not I WAS JOKING because I found it well silly that the issue of a broken gate was even brought up since it is a daily event al over TV. GeeeZZZZZ

Rubicon, I did see the joking symbol. I apologize for the comments, but I am tiring of hearing some of my Stonecrest friends complain for being the butt of these regular jokes. They really don't deserve it.

Thanks for your consideration. Nice jokes are always welcome and fun to read.

I have a solution . . . . .

Get rid of the damn gates and we won't have any more problems!

[nitehawk]

Oh no------ supposedly we would have "Gridlock" -----

Why do I get the feeling you don't own a golf cart or at least rarely drive one? Those gates are about the only thing preventing many accidents between car and cart. Try crossing at some of the streets when the gates are open and cars can just go through. Next to impossible unless someone in a car stops and lets carts through, which creates a whole other set of issues.

Sorry, Redwitch, but I do have a golf cart which I do use.
I find that even where there are a few cars waiting to go through the gate,
it really isn't safe enough for a cart to quickly zoom in between the gate openings.
Most of the time, the gate does not even completely close before it re-opens for the next driver.

The onus is on the golf carts to stop and wait until it's safe enough to continue on, no?
I always stop to let the carts go through as a matter of courtesy.
Reading your take on this seems like auto drivers could be a little nicer.

I agree with Redwitch. I like the gates the way they are.

I agree with Redwitch and Gracie and would be very upset if they did away with the gates. Why? Because they help manage the merging of cars and carts, they do have eyes on all who pass through them, they provide a obstacle ; albeit a temporary one for those who have need to flee and they provide a psychological benefit. the benefits far outweigh the problems
Short of restructuring this as a true gated community it is the next best thing.
