Again on gated communities

I am still trying to wrap my mind around the concept that a group of people can put fences around their communities and locking gates while the entire city is paying for their streets, sewers, water lines, electricity lines, sidewalks.  Everyone pays for these amenities and only a few are allowed to use them.  Not right.  They should have to at the very least pay the taxpayers a fee for these services.  No one asked me if I wanted to put in streets, sidewalks, sewers and utilities for the gated community down the street from me.  I should have at the very least been allowed to vote on whether I wanted to provide elite service for a small segment of the city.
