Can gated communities in journalism survive?

I used to visit a friend who lived in a gated community a lot. I took the bus to a stop a few metres away, walked past a large pair of black gates (better suited to the BFG), walked past the security guards hut, along a little lane that winded around lush greenery (including a cricket field), a large underground, multi-storey car park leisure centre and £1m houses.

The people who lived here could move freely in and out, but people like me couldn’t always get in. I had to check in with the security guard each time.
