People Need Gates Just to Be Left Alone

Re “Life’s Just Better Behind the Gates,” Letters, June 2:

I agree with Skillman Hunter, whose letter says living in gated communities is safer. Gated communities bring peace and quiet and the lack of solicitors. It is sad that people these days seem to be able to bother anybody anywhere.

We have people in our communities who don’t have anything better to do than vandalize, torment or steal from others. It is sad to say that the only way to escape these problems is to move into a house behind gates. People should be able to be left alone in their homes.
