Half of Americans would overpay to live in a gated community for safety, study shows

Comments

1. Lena Sharma: seems like this 'safety' argument is wearing off - I've got friends who splurged on gates just to get that coveted resale value bump, but it's
2. Ravi: safety isn't just physical, what's the long-term cost to mental health of locked-off communities?
3. Kian: I'm surprised no one's mentioned how expensive it is to basically create a bubble around yourself. What happens to the safety when all the money runs out?
4. Sana: nothing says 'priority' like shelling out an extra 30 grand for a 'safety net
5. Adam: something to consider is whether that $30k premium actually goes towards increased security or just luxury features most people wouldn't notice anyway
6. Miawex: I'd pay that premium if it meant waking up to silence every morning
7. Noahivanovxo: seriously though, that extra $30k for some gates and a camera? sounds like we're valuing security over everything else all of a sudden
8. Leoparkxo: you're really gonna ask people if they'd rather pay more for walls?
9. Kai: nothing's guaranteed, but an extra $30k for a 'feel-safe' vibe seems like an expensive peace of mind
