Never lived in a gated community, except for the old farm- had plenty of gates there- but have some kinfolks who do. They go on and on about how sweet it is to have neighbors who are just like you for miles in either direction, how everyone has to maintain certain standards (at least on the outside, superficial level) to keep up the property values, and how it is SO convenient to have several quality golf courses in the area.
Their only complaint is the age-old one of the wannabe-wealthy:
"Good help is just so hard to find"!
Don't believe me? - Just ask my Aunt ___.
Now, your really wealthy people don't have this problem. They pick out the cream of the crop of domestic help, move them onto the property and pay them well.
Your wannabes don't want any "substandard" housing anywhere near them, but they want waiters, waitresses, gardeners, swimming pool maintenance and greenskeepers, et cetera; and they want them ON THE CHEAP. The attitude seems to be, if you pay 'em well and give 'em a place to stay, and a few benefits, they'll just get lazy and start to steal from you.
So, what is the answer for our yuppie friends' dilemma?
Bus (that's right- BUS) them in from Hotlanta or Charleston or wherever. That way, you can pay 'em minwage with no benefits, a cheap bus ticket, and you can whine and piss and moan when you get what you pay for!
