Not so mon cheri, I did think it was primarily the wealthy and those who work for them but as in some of the images and found elsewhere on the interweb we see quite poor Brazilian families gating off their tower blocks to try and keep the drug gangs from the favelas out, In Marseilles ordinary Frenchies have started adopted a SPANISH building practice of putting high wall around around homes and the properties are only accessible by large locked timber gates, In the UK as an example Anson and Hudson houses , both tower blocks have now fitted Concierge systems and electronic access systems, in Walton and Campbell Courts the four blocks of apartments and now linked by twelve foot high walls and electric acess control systems, both are COUNCIL properties. In China communities in rural peasant villages are becoming gated to keep out these growing Muslim Chinese extremists. Across this region many OAP complexes own by councils have access control, high walls and CCTV to protect the council tennents. Quite a few Uk housing associations have been persuaded to build in run down high crime areas and they build gated / access controlled mini estates within bigger estates.
