Talk:Gated community

message: Similar to Brazil's concept and due to security issues, In Colombia most urban housing projects in middle and high class portions of the city are "gated communities", where the high class ones do enjoy of private pools and gym access though not at a club level (the quantity of luxury also depends on which city you live in and if you are middle or high class). Though, people tend to choose "gated communities" in Colombia is because the high level of security one can have there, considering most middle and high class buildings in Colombia have private security guards. I wish I could include this in the article and write more about it but i'm not good at writing. I wanted to leave this piece of information so that someone who might want to expand this part could make it part of the main article. Thank you 93.34.49.59 (talk) 21:03, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: You need to read Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson and Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler (both of which are available at public libraries throughout North America).  They are both cogent critiques of gated communities as inherently incompatible with a modern democratic nation-state; that is, they both attack gated communities as representing a partial return to the old concept of feudal city-states.  --Coolcaesar 17:20, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Says:  "... police ... only ever need to go inside to arrest and charge thieves ..."
But what about domestic violence?  What if a husband murders his wife?  Do the police still only go inside to arrest and charge only thieves, but ignore murders?  Even if committed by residents? 
Surely, once in a while, the actual residents of a gated community might commit a crime.  Domestic violence is one example.  Who handles that?  The private security companies?--Atikokan (talk) 08:24, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
