    Spent the first half of my life in Tulsa. If the complex or neighborhood isn’t gated, then at least everyone has fences. Assumed it was like that everywhere.

    Move to Chicago and not only are gated areas really rare, nobody has fences! Weird.

    Now I’m in the South and nothing is gated, fences maybe, maybe not. We don’t even have curbs down here, forget sidewalks, not even in the bougie suburb and nice neighborhoods.

    As a cable guy in Tulsa, we all knew how to get into any gated area. We knew loads of codes and some where predictable, MMYY, 1125 this month. Also, if you have ladders on top of your truck and wear a tool belt, you become invisible.
