Well, they intentionally remove themselves from the broader community because they think they're better than the "unwashed masses" for one. They also tend to fearmonger about violent crime and generally vote for fascists. They tend to be class traitors in general

In my experience, that's where all the rich, racist dickheads live. They also almost always have an HOA.

There's a very large gated community right beside my apartment, that's in between me and the lake I live near. If I could walk thru the gated comm, I could reach the lake in ~15min. Instead I have to go around which is more than twice as far with lots of up-hill.

Theyre soulless for one, and typically like to imagine themselves as "better" than the surrounding community.

They deliberately reject larger society

Because I hate unnecessary fences. And people who love them are annoying.

it's annoying, when you're trying to go on a walk and gotta hop a fence.

The people who live in them are usually not very nice to me

They're only rich because other people are poor.

I’m not sure why people hate them. I guess the other comments kind of explains it, the reality is I don’t hate them. I don’t have an issue with them. If you want to live in a gated community ok fine go live in a gated community. no skin off my nose.

what hatred are you talking about? can you share where you got this from?
