The gate is an HOA expense. Gates, cameras, staffing and the private roads behind them sit in the HOA budget, and the dues in gated Thornton communities run above the city average. Private roads also mean the HOA plows and repaves, not the city.

Metro district. Newer gated Thornton communities sit in a metro district that repays the developer through the tax bill. We pull the mill levy before you fall for the entry monument.
