alt Hacker NewsI lived in an apartment building, and one of the upsides was that the building had a security system and a front desk that helped control who could be wandering down my hall.

Doesn't really seem like it fits the analogy. Even ignoring that, I doubt they were checking passports and collecting tolls from guests, right?
Me too.
But we, owners, collectively choose that. We choose the security company, we pay then, we can vote them out. Most importantly: the construction company has zero say in this.
Also, no one actually check the IDs of my friends, and they don't have to pay the construction company when they first come.
I give the codes, they ring, I open. I hire a company to monitor the building but I can kick then out any day.
I own the place, you see?
