Well, they intentionally remove themselves from the broader community because they think they're better than the "unwashed masses" for one. They also tend to fearmonger about violent crime and generally vote for fascists. They tend to be class traitors in general

In my experience, that's where all the rich, racist dickheads live. They also almost always have an HOA.

Around me is not even "rich" people. It's people in debt up to their eye balls pretending to be rich, keeping up with the Jones' and straight up just being dicks most of the time.

Everyone around them that's annoyed by their bullshit.

  • Ugly McMansions that break up the look of a neighborhood and just cause an eyesore

  • Insufferable Karens that can't keep their nose out of other people's business

  • Loud parties that cause traffic, disturb the peace, and go on all night (or even days at a time)

  • The general state of the world csused by the elite's greed

There's a very large gated community right beside my apartment, that's in between me and the lake I live near. If I could walk thru the gated comm, I could reach the lake in ~15min. Instead I have to go around which is more than twice as far with lots of up-hill.

Theyre soulless for one, and typically like to imagine themselves as "better" than the surrounding community.

how are they soulless?

I dont care for subdivisions. A bunch of cookie-cutter houses packed too closely, isolated from the rest of their town. Overpriced houses with HOAs deciding how you handle your own property.

I find nothing about them appealing.

They deliberately reject larger society

Because I hate unnecessary fences. And people who love them are annoying.

When they're not in the way of anything i don't care, but there is one near me that halfs the distance i can walk or bicycle without going on the highway and that is bullshit

it's annoying, when you're trying to go on a walk and gotta hop a fence.

They're only rich because other people are poor.

The people who live in them are usually not very nice to me

I’m not sure why people hate them. I guess the other comments kind of explains it, the reality is I don’t hate them. I don’t have an issue with them. If you want to live in a gated community ok fine go live in a gated community. no skin off my nose.
