That never added up to me and I have been suspicious of our HOA ever since.
Cant you ask the HOA board for a financial report? Your dues probably covers grass cutting, insurance, lighting in the common area. Even if the homeowners dont live there it seems they would want to keep their property value up. A gate may raise the dues but it would probably be worth it.

A lot if people on here live or lived there...only so many house. I am one though it's been years.
A gate won't do anything but cost you money.

You are incorrect. I own property in both areas and owners pay HOA fees in villas. Nice try though.
On a side note, the HOA costs need to be looked at. I went to a lot of their meeting when I lived in there.
I never said the villas didn't have an HOA. I said they didn't pay anything for the upkeep of the entrance which both the villas and the homes share. I was told this directly by our HOA. If that is wrong, then someone needs to inform them but I take their word over yours. So I wasn't trying anything, you just misunderstood what I was saying.

What the hell has happened to Louisiana. It seems like there is nothing but drugs, stealing and death. It has changed so much.
I hate it has. It such a waste.

I'm not following you here. There are gated communities all over that were once "public" streets so it does happen. In fact, my MIL lives in one of these private communities now...which was originally a "public" street. So I'm not understanding why you are so adamant that it can't/won't happen?

I'm not sure if you are serious or not? So you don't believe that a locked gate at the front of a neighborhood would discourage any of this crime at all? So all of the gated communities that we have around the country are just wrong? They are all doing nothing but wasting their money? Well...I can tell you that as soon as the construction is finished in my neighborhood, I am going to lobby hard for a gate. I'm just one of those idiots that don't realize I am just wasting my money.

I guess I can see both sends of the fence. I dont really get how you think a gate is such a huge deterrent. For one, it puts a target specifically on your neighborhood..."hey look at me, we all have alot of nice shite". Also, it's not exactly hard to breach a gate

No, if you want a gate then go for it, but I think it's more about status than actually making a huge difference in deterring crime.

Not flaming...just a discussion...
Unlike some, I don’t need a gate for “status”. I couldn’t give a rat’s arse about that. However, I do believe a gate is a deterrent to random/petty and possibly even sometimes serious crime. It keeps the “opportunists” from just taking a stroll or cruise through the neighborhood taking inventory and casing out their next target. These are not the sharpest individuals in the world, which is evident by this very case we are discussing, so wouldn’t they look for a much easier target than trying to figure out how to get through locked access gates and security cameras? If gates don’t do any good…what is your opinion of home security systems?

Im not saying gates dont do any good. Ive actually never thought about it in depth before and was just making discussion as well. I think you have a good point about not being able to scope out a particular house, or pattern the residents, etc. Home security systems are entirely different. They make a ton of noise when breached which can act as a deterrent and warn you to give you time to grab your weapons, they alert the police immediately, and they let everyone in the neighborhood know something is going on. Most have fire notification as well and let you know if your teenage kids are sneaking out at night. One would assume that they are significantly more deterring than a gate to the neighborhood.

I think a gate would help in this particular neighborhood. One of our major problems come from people who walk into our neighborhood. The boys last year who kicked in someones door were on foot. Someone is going to have a hard time walking in the gate, robbing someone and then carrying that stuff back out without being seen. They wouldn't even be able to exit until someone came by and opened the gate. It is definitely a deterrent if you live near a place with a lot of foot traffic and people who live across Burbank are often on foot.

This is retarded. If anyone kills they will burn in a lake of fire?
All soldiers, all people defending their homes or families, all police officers???
Just so stupid.
I am so glad this dude is dead. I wish it happened more often. I've been robbed twice in 3 years when I wasn't home and I can promise you, there is nothing more infuriating. I go no where without a gun anymore.

Do we know how many shots were fired and where the offending party was struck so we can either give this a "good shootin" or "needs some work, but got it done"?

I'm not an expert. However I lived in a subdivision with one and my parent's used to live in one with a gate. During this process, we spoke to several security consultants--this was in northern virginia--and their consensus was that they don't guarantee security and introduce a lot of other issues in most developments.
Cost-installation and maintenance--they break a lot. I believe in EBR the road is no longer considered public.
Traffic-often times there are delays getting in and out that people don't want to tolerate; kind of like a parking garage where some people know what they're doing while others don't
Coding-eventually some jackass gives out the codes to the pizza man or card to their ex. Legit people get locked out
There are more but I dont feel like typing. My point is the HOA needs to clearly define what problem they want to solve and tailor a solution. Gates may be it, but it's hardly a silver bullet.

I completely understand your points and I don’t really disagree with any of them. However, I cannot see how a gate wouldn’t help at least some…if not possibly a lot…in this particular neighborhood. Yes, gates do break and yes it could take you another 20 seconds to get in/out of your neighborhood. But, I will live with that small nuisance if it means that the odds of me walking in on someone in my house, or coming home early to see a “moving van” parked outside go down.

The gate going into the villas was broken often. I hated that thing.

I understand and I'm not saying it's a terrible idea. I mentioned earlier I lived there for just over a year.
There is a fence now lining Summer Breeze, correct? There wasn't when i was there. You would need to put the gate on summer; it couldn't be too close to Burbank. Also the other openings would need to be fenced.
