I hate it when people over-barricade buildings!

In the game, survivors can enter a barricaded building as long as it is on Very Strongly Barricaded (VSB) or lower. If it is higher, the survivor must go to an "entry point" which should be a building that has low barricades. People use this entry to "free run" into an adjacent, heavily barricaded building. This way, survivors are able to get into the good buildings which are often barricaded too heavily to access normally.
So, after looting supplies in a police department and hospitals, I go out for a few minutes to shoot and revive some zombies. When I'm done, I go back to find an entry point (which are supposed to be at VSB) but apparently people decided to barricade it higher while I was gone. It's too high, at Extremely Heavily Barricaded (EHB), the highest level. Everywhere I go, buildings are at EHB.
Now, after getting clawed at by a zombie, I have been forced to sleep on the streets with very little HP left. I went to a Revive Point, where zombies and humans are not supposed to attack each other. Hopefully, I won't find myself dead there the next day.
What do you think about barricading? Should survivors put the 'cades at maximum to be safe against zombies (and evil survivors), or should they let it lower so more survivors can get in? They need to be safe, that's true, but over-barricading kills. Literally.
