colsoop Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 As an RAF brat for most of my teenage years, i would happily live in a gated community, you get to know people better that way. Crime is very limited due to regular security patrols and you have a sense of community. You have the small inconveneince of id cards to enter but you also have complete freedom to come and go as well. Providing you don't get the place shut down by causing bomb scares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 Not bad, a little far out though. How about Laputa? http://www.asiepassion.com/manga/laputa/laputa5.jpg I love Laputa. It's been on FilmFour a fair bit recently as well. If it wasn't a tad blown up I'd live there fo'sho. Except it's not real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 to right, I would in an instant, could leave windows open, leave car out without fear of it being keyed etc, walk around without being hasstled by yobs and chavs, and generally low life idiots Now where are my lottery numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I used to fantasise about living in my own skyscraper. I would have the top 3 floors and the rest would be empty and unreachable. They'd be one entrance with elaborate access opening onto an atrium. A lift would descend and you'd drive into it and it'd take you up to the parking level. There'd be literally no way up unless you knew how to activate the lift. Of course, you'd need to be stupidly rich so emergency evacuation would be done in a helicopter. I was a lonely child.

RedM Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 Have you read this...? It all goes horribly wrong... It can't go horribly wrong as I would be the only person living there. Me at the top of my tower away from hoi polloi. If I was Gate-loaded that's where I'd spend my money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymanuk Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Depends what the people/neighbours were like. If they were friendly drove slowly aroud the housing area so kids could play outside freely, yes. As well as not having to worry about the cum drinking w**kers that drive through the streets at 60mph in residential zone. Oh and the thieving gypo's, peado's, rapist yadda yadda yadda... Micheal's castle is starting to sound really good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Have you thought about applying for the 2007 series of Castaway? I'd still need to have a job! I don't mean living like a complete hippy, more a kind of inbetween Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Dear me you people need to find NICE places to live, not just lock yourselves away like this! IF, and only IF, I lived in London or somewhere equally unpleasant (to the country-folk) would I want to lock out all the unpleasant people. However, having chosen to live in the outskirts of a nice village, everything is cool. Neighbours are nice, it's safe enough...it's all good.

I don't mean living like a complete hippy, more a kind of inbetween Your job could be the grumpy one that doesn't want to cook the bread that the others have to have 'group' meetings about. You could proceed to being ostracized to the 'other' accommodation where you'd spend your hours knitting the community jumpers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imi Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 If you could afford to live in one, would you? A walled area of housing with controlled access and regular security patrols. I think I would. I like the idea of not having people walking by who had no business there. yup...anything to keep the riff raff out and my supra safe.

However, having chosen to live in the outskirts of a nice village, everything is cool. Neighbours are nice, it's safe enough...it's all good. I live in the middle of a very well to do and quiet village. Yet we still get little scrotes from neighbouring areas who take the time to walk here and damage the bus shelter, the pay phone, to throw things into peoples gardens, try to set bushes on fire etc etc. They've no reason to be here. There is literally nothing to do but they cannot be kept out. I'd like to go out and leather one of the little twats just to send a message but I can't so I dream about gated communities with the power to remove undesirables.

Knock the shit out of the little bastards and if the police come around deny everything (they will probably think they deserve it anyway), if you all stick together the little chavs will soon fuck off!
