The Gates Four community is still fighting annexation by Fayetteville. The community has been fighting annexation since 2004, but the City of Fayetteville keeps returning. Why, you may ask? The Gates Four community is a financially well-established community, with high dollar homes, a golf course, and private security. Bigger, more expensive homes mean more property tax revenue. The City of Fayetteville's motivation in this matter is a greedy desire to collect more taxes.

Whenever you have an efficient government you have a dictatorship. -- Harry S. Truman
