I certainly didn't mean to imply that gated communities don't pay taxes. Remembering back to the one gated community I lived in for about a year, though, the security was indeed very heavy-handed. I'd have friends and/or "gentleman callers" park across the street and walk them in through one of the pedestrian entrances. The gatehouse was difficult and highly intrusive, with guests required to not just show an ID, but leave it there.
And the moves, both in and out, were a special cycle of hell.
I'm sorry you had that experience. Things in Hawaii are much more relaxed where I live. They just keep the Kirby salesmen out and don't really have any issues with the residents or invited guests.
