A new twist on gated communities
The Asheville Citizen-Times editorially supports a proposal to turn two public housing developments into gated communities. The impetus is not snooty residents; it's the threat of criminal intruders.
"If it reduces crime and doesn’t infringe on the rights of the residents," the newspaper editorializes in support of a trial run with gates, "it is an initiative that would be worth continuing."
Certainly sounds more compelling a case than that Georgia town that built a gated community within a gated community.
