There is a gated community in Arizona that you have to use a ID to leave for a few hours.Later I found that it is a low security jail.

We're really not into gated communities anymore and here's why. One "gated community" lakefront. The intruders pulled up to the house on a boat, and entered that way. Another one was a campground, the gate didn't run across the whole front. So basically, at night you could just walk or even drive around the gate without anyone noticing. Even with our community pool which you needed a code for. Always, someone would tell their kid the code and half the pool could hear it. They finally went to cards. Our pool has kind of the reputation of being the nicest pool around, and always every summer---you catch someone trying to sneak in. They'll kind of hang in the parking lot; then follow someone opening the door.

I didnt know that CLARK KENT lives in a gated community, i guess you learn something new every day

[@007mia7]

Most gated communities I am familiar with are manned. You must have your ID, they call your home and you have to give the guard permission to allow a person in. Your tags are automatically photographed as well. I notice MOST don't use the amenities. They have their own pool for privacy (I know its crazy). Theres usually two lines, one for guests and one for residents with a car responder that opens the gate automatically. :). It truly depends on the location....not really a fear factor (to me). I like that there are rules to help keep your property value up (like if someone wanted to paint a cow or something on their house LOL)

A passcode is to easy to share for something like a gated community might as well just leave the gates open at that rate.

[@kenpozek]

I totally agree. Many neighborhoods change the old pass codes when people move. That doesn’t mean the current owners don’t just give out their passcodes freely.

[@mathewmcfool]

So if you own the house out right and you don’t pay the gate fee do they stop you from entering?

[@thrillamoe50]

It’s included in your HOA fees.

[@mathewmcfool]

[@Florida4kdayandnight]

@@mathewmcfool If you fail to pay your HOA or COA assessments in Florida, the association can get a lien on your property and might foreclose on your home.

Which is crazy, imagine buying a house and then some crazy people foreclosing your home because you owe them 10 bucks, and they will sell it for maybe 10% of the value of the house. Crazy!!!!!!

Great video. Besides security, isn’t it a Pro or Con, depending on the perspective, that any alteration to the gated community house has to be approved by a Board (on top of the standard city permit) to “keep the community neat”?

Are gated communities in Central Florida more conservative? Are there any liberal gated communities?

Well you can for sure have a Republican gated community like mine is in Louisiana but in flordia it’d depend on the politics of the area is it Republican or democratic is what you should look into so for example destin is not democratic it’s more Republican, there for gated communities are more likely Republican

There is a gated community in Sacramento California are that is really odd.everbody home before 8 pm because the gate locks and unlocks at 6 AM so if you are late,you sleep in your car outside the gate.All home interior lights out by 10 pm.All homes are secured by the HOA. If you have to move around then you have to call the HOA.The refrigerator/freezer is owned by the HOA and there is a scanner/weight scale that keeps track of your food.Low on food,the HOAs computer will order it for you at a good mark up.

I tend to be higly skeptical about gated cmmunities. Indireclty it gives less resources for whom live outside these communities, and for the most deprived zone will end to the rise of criminality, and this is happening since decades ago, it's a vitious-circle. I don't say that's it's the lone reason, but it can one of most factors of excessive inequality in the society, and the rise of that inequalities.

[@swiftblade168]

[@WokOverEasy]

People live in certain neighbourhoods for safety not for showing off 🙄. Also your net worth isn’t that high which is probably why you still choose to put yourself in a crap neighbourhood. It’s not likely that the house price will dramatically drop so putting your money in a nice investment home is much more worthy in a few years time vs a shit neighbourhood which will remain the same. Just my 0.02.

[@garyt3hsna1l82]

The ironic issue with a gated community is that they naturally attract a certain type of criminal element from within and outside the community. I once watched a house party rage for a weekend, the home owner hired they're own security to bounce at the door, the POA rent a cops showed up and got clowned on, then the police showed up and had no idea what to do either, as the homeowner wouldn't come to the door; The Cops left, the POA left, and the party raged on. Come to find out it monday was a 17 year old kid home alone for the weekend! People don't lock their cars or garages either so you get petty crime that isn't reported or noticed till people are missing $1200 worth of shit. Stolen golf carts, kids overdosing huffing, A/C condensers, fights in the park over barbeque pits on 4th of july, strange things happen be sure of it.

[@georgethompson3763]

Who is responsible for those petty crimes though? The staff hired by wealthy people? Who would steal a golf cart?? Can't be your neighbor.

[@garyt3hsna1l82]

@@georgethompson3763 its typically the fail sons of rich parents that never ended up homeless through "tough love". they'll typically work a trade job, live at home and pilfer the neighborhood for shit to pawn into their 40's, 50's, and 60's until their dad kicks the bucket and then they slumlord out the property to friends. local cops like having people like this in their back pocket, and HOA's can't really touch them until the property is completely derelict.
