Hi, to anyone living or know someone who is living in a gated community. More specifically in the Las Galeras area. Are vegetable gardens aloud in these types of communities? Nothing to large just for personal consumption. Along with a few hens? As a side note are gated communities really that much safer? Or is it just a false sense of security? Thanks in advance for any help. Exodus.

Gated Communities
False sense of security.
The nicer the community the bigger the target. Dress down, blend in and enjoy everything this wonderful country has to offer.
Fascinating and curious at the same time. Gated communities in Las Galeras? Have you been there?
Hey i was just curious, i don't recall any gated communities. You sound caustic, just a question to better understand what you may be looking for
That's what I thought. We've been there 7 times it is a wonderful country. Thank you!
You seem to bring that out in people.
I do not think there are any gated communities in Las Galeras. If anything is walled in and gated it is just someone’s personal residence that they decided to surround with a wall and maybe some barbed wire. If that is what you are referring to then no there are no local zoning laws or ordinances regulating gardens and a few chickens. Most people have a few fruit trees and I assume there are some veggies in there somewhere if they are year-round residents or have a gardener.
Chickens? Seriously eggs are expensive but I don't like then enough to put up with filthy chickens and their excrement
Thank you reilleyp I should have been not so specific as directly in Las Galeras just in the general area.
We keep chickens where we are at now stric
We keep chickens where we live now. Just for the eggs. They free range and get all our food scraps nothing goes to waste. Very easy to keep.
I kinda had the same feeling. Just wanted conformation from others that live there. Thanks gadfly
I think many people build their own 'safety system'.....wall, cameras, dogs, etc
Do you think, if it was affordable. Live in help would be another layer so to speak. Another deterrent along with trained k9s and fencing as you mentioned. Thanks William Webster
Trained K9's are necessary... just good dogs
Certainly live-in help is good
I have someone here 24/7/365
Night watchman 6-6 and day man 6-6....one night/one day
Woman cleans every day 1/2 day

If you're going to have K9's it's a wise idea to teach them not to eat things thrown to them over the fence. I lost 3 like that, and got robbed a few days later.
The dogs were a bigger loss than the crap they stole.

Yep, had both of my street dogs poisoned last week.
