different than "privately owned roads
At least residents can drive on their own privately owned roads too, along with tourists and non-residents of their subdivision.
To visit their "vacated neighborhood," which implies they left of their own free will, would they need to stand in line with tourists, and pay the entrance fee? Or would they get a Kamaaina Discount from the County?
I alternate between thinking of the planet as home — dear and familiar stone hearth and garden — and as a hard land of exile in which we are all sojourners. Today I favor the latter view. The word “sojourner”... invokes a nomadic people’s sense of vagrancy, a praying people’s knowledge of estrangement, a thinking people’s intuition of sharp loss: “For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding.” - Annie Dillard
