In alot of those communities it is as much if not more so about optics. It is like the most elite restaurants. People go there to be seen by the "right" people" not because the food is great.
And to be blunt in alot of these communities the walls are deliberate and they want to keep the peasants out.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow It's mostly old people in there (55+) and they don't want riff-raff (peasants) knocking them over and stealing their stuff. Kind of like an apartment without shared walls or floors.

I imagine it could be kinda nice.
You block out the world and pretend everything is pretty, and you can ignore the reality of what most people live in.
It'd be a kind of recluse. A sanctuary away from the chaos and fear that inflitrates everywhere else.
I mean....imagine it.
Your kids can play in the streets.
You know your neighbor isnt gonna break in while high, while youre gone....you can sunbake in your back yard and not get spied on or shot.
That's kinda attractive 🤷♀

@OogieBoogie Yeah I can understand all of that and it does sound pretty nice. I live in an apartment and while I'm quiet and keep to myself I hear other people's drama.
I don’t live in one but…One thing good about it is just anyone can’t waltz on in the gate…

A gated community is a concept. It first got started in the USA predominantly in California where seemingly very rich people typically live among the unquestionably very poor people.
The object of the concept is to have a physical barrier separating the rich from the poor, or more specifically, to keep the poor away from the rich.
An American gated community typically has a gate for sure, plus very high concrete walls where nobody on the outside can even see what's going on inside that 'cellblock'.
A community like that would typically have gotten started by the land developer buying super-cheap land within those poor areas, which then allows the rich to live as cheap as dirt among the poor because of the real estate location, but live among the poor without having to live in a dump to pull off the illusion that they are rich.
Bottom line is, those rich people are really not rich, though they like to pretend that they are which of course is the American way.

It goes a bit deeper than what I've outlined, but I won't bore you with any of it unless you show interest.
