Gated communities

Why do people prefer them rather than buying own land n building ?

Semblance of control - that way you do not end up sharing a wall with FULL gospo mabati-ini churches

also security in numbers

Yes, yaani at least you have neighbors with almost/similar interest

Security Mostly;

A friend of mine built and moved into his new home in Kamakis in 2014. He was raided three times. The last stroke was when his wife was almost raped. Neighboring houses were far between.

He moved out the next day and has been renting in Buruburu since. He rented out his house.

-Security
-easy access to shared social amenities
-Avoiding inconvenience from noisy neighbors

It is a safer place,kina @johntez addi gaza msafi fear going to such places

Akina @johntez addi gaza msafi wakikuja pale naishi gated community wanakula ndengu. Niliapata majirani kadhaa tuko licenced to carry firearms.

The feeling of being better off then others

Security esp if you work away from your family. Kuwaweka in a gated community ni better than a stand alone house coz they might be targeted while your away. Wezi hujua schedule before they raid

Security; ‘good’ community amidst city chaos; kids’s freedom to play outside; free parking; cleanliness; order; social status; peace of mind; not knowing about cheaper options; manipulation by wives etc.
