we've got quite a few gated communities here in phoenix. and damn near EVERY neighborhood (including mine) is walled off with only a couple of access points. it helps with the block watch system and all that jazz. if there are only 100 homes in the neighborhood and only 2 ways in and out for cars, then pretty soon you recognize all the cars and a different one sticks out pretty easily.
i like the set up. if you don't live in a neighborhood, and you aren't visiting someone who does live there - why exactly should you have access to that neighborhood?
