That is really a shame to hear.

My in-laws live in a very nice gated community in Phoenix, AZ. Very nice community with very nice houses and a 15 foot brick wall around it.

They have a community center with educational facilities, hobby centers, a wood shop, a complete metal working/welding shop, auto mechanic shop.

They have an 18 hole golf course and a private shooting range.

Most of those facilities were donated by people that retired to that place after working in those fields for a lifetime, so the community is filled with people having hands on experience in all sorts of technical fields.
