There’s a very large gated community right beside my apartment, that’s in between me and the lake I live near. If I could walk thru the gated comm, I could reach the lake in ~15min. Instead I have to go around which is more than twice as far with lots of up-hill.
I’m not sure why people hate them. I guess the other comments kind of explains it, the reality is I don’t hate them. I don’t have an issue with them. If you want to live in a gated community ok fine go live in a gated community. no skin off my nose.
Because I hate unnecessary fences. And people who love them are annoying.
Well, they intentionally remove themselves from the broader community because they think they’re better than the “unwashed masses” for one. They also tend to fearmonger about violent crime and generally vote for fascists. They tend to be class traitors in general
it’s annoying, when you’re trying to go on a walk and gotta hop a fence.
When they’re not in the way of anything i don’t care, but there is one near me that halfs the distance i can walk or bicycle without going on the highway and that is bullshit
They deliberately reject larger society
