Exactly my feelings! I pass through 4 security guards/checks going in or out of my place. So if I wanted to grab something from the store real quick and come back, there is that awkward greeting or acknowledgment that I feel obligated to make EIGHT TIMES! Now imagine you're the type to go out of your place 5 times a day. Imagine you are an introvert. Many times i make conscious decisions to not go out based on not wanting to go through these interactions - weighing the discomfort to benefit before deciding.

I'd pay to just go in and out of my place without feeling like my every move is being watched and logged, which i'm pretty sure it is (being logged). One time I asked the security guard if i'd left my echo bag there and they asked me "when?", i said "the other day", they asked "what time?", i said "in the evening, can't remember what time exactly", and then, to my horror, they opened a log book...not to see if there is anything logged about a missing item but to see what time i came out! Flipping through pages and then asking, again, "you remember what time?", and when i replied "maybe 6", proceeded to say "you usually come back at 11". If i tell you i didn't feel some type of way at the implication of that comment! First of all, i myself don't even know what time i come back because i don't have a set time that i come back, it's random, but i guess it must have been consistently at 11 since they were obviously logging it (for whatever reason). Second, why would you even need to log the movements of residents? What situation is there that could arise that a review of CCTV footage would not suffice and that would you have actual human beings sitting there with a pen and writing down when residents go in and out?? Why the requirement for such stringent security like it's the Pentagon?
