The community...Hi Jelly you make a very good point. The community thinks it can select the safe from the dangerous denizen. It uses money and respectable employment as a proxy for a morality test and as a predictor of responsible citizenship. But history shows these criteria to be unreliable. Schizophrenia, for example, which is the condition most associated with random violent attacks on strangers, is distributed at random throughout the population. Apart from this though, if you are going to be killed, it's most likely to be someone close to you!<br />I agree that gated communities increase social division between rich and poor, which means they increase the chance of criminality outside the gates. And if that's not enough, they increase levels of distrust between citizens, making life generally less agreeable. All in all, a bad thing!

But...I guess it is safe from the outside criminals. But what if the criminal you all feared of lives within the gated community. Will it still be safe? And isn’t it that gated communities are just promoting social discrimination? <br /><a href="http://www.idealretirement.com/" rel="nofollow">IdealRetirement.com</a>jelly andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15739210874674200059noreply@blogger.com
