I WISH to share my experience regarding the subject of gated and guarded neighbourhood. I object to it because of the following reasons (not in order of importance):
First, the committee is “elected” by a small number of attendees who have their own selfish agenda.
Second, only certain roads have road humps so as to divert traffic to other “certain” roads that don’t have them.
Third, guard houses are set up in places where certain members of the community will not be disturbed by the noise coming from the guards (such as their radios or smart phones), and the stopping and starting of cars.
Fourth, diverting traffic when vehicles drop off or pick up the children from the school, twice a day, to certain roads (to the advantage of certain members).
Which means the other roads will face noise, traffic jams and pollution twice a day, as well as speeding cars when they are running late.
Fifth, not every member can afford to pay the monthly fee. And then they have to put up with ugly stares from the guards.
