I'm guessing subdivision means something different where most of you live than it does to me.
I live in a small subdivision of 100 or so families in the national forest about 20 miles NW of Boulder. This was a ranch that existed before the national forest was created, that was subdivided up into 1 acre lots. I simply cannot afford the 35 acre minimum that would be required to live in the national forest outside the subdivision. The ethnic diversity of my neighborhood matches the rest of Colorado (not terribly diverse). The subdivision covenants expired before I moved in, however most of them were common sense and a few were peculiar (no burning outside ... no shit, no grazing male llama with female ones ... uhhh,ok).
We get along fine with our neighbors, but we're far from a homogenous community. Our HOA is all about managing our lakes and common land. No cineplexes or shopping malls, hell, the nearest gas station is 20 miles away and there is only 1 business within 10 (a bar).
Homogenous gated communities don't appeal to me, but I don't think that really defines a subdivision.
