    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 they possess some of the most close-minded individuals that you can find. They live boring lives, where all they can think of is advancing their goals and ambitions at the expense of others. They look down at everyone outside of their community. They truly believe that they are the ‘best of the best’ humanity has to offer just because of how gated and successful that they are. Nevermind that all of their successes were made through exploits and deceit, wheeling and dealing acquisitions, being born wealthy, never having to work an honest day in their life and ironically mooching off the teet of the government via lobbying when it serves them. While turning around calling people parasites for being on welfare.

    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

        I dont care for subdivisions. A bunch of cookie-cutter houses packed too closely, isolated from the rest of their town. Overpriced houses with HOAs deciding how you handle your own property.

        I find nothing about them appealing.

    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.
