Really, you think Post # 120 is the last word? You are optimistic indeed.

Are the gatekeepers volunteers, or paid?

Our Gates are No Bargain.
Yes, as Tomwed said, the personnel at the gates are paid. They work 4 days on and four days off. They get no paid vacation time and no benefits.
It costs Villages' residents over a million dollars a year, which also includes maintenance, utilities, etc. Exactly how much over a million, I don't know but I think it''s pretty expensive to give us all a false sense of security when the streets are public and anyone can come and go as they please.

The Gates do give some type of psychological security, but is it really worth the price. Many of us were unaware when we purchased that the gates are there for traffic control. The streets are owned by the County; they are public property. As Bonanza said, anyone can enter.

The subject has changed so I guess Bogie was right. He's always right!
Oh yeah, without the gates, golf carts don't stand a chance, especially during snowbird season. |

Why did the golf cart cross the road? To get to the other side. -- And without the gates, the odds of that happening would be greatly reduced. Our gates save lives. |

My husband actually met a woman in a roundabout who was going in the wrong direction.
She shook her fist at him. .
