That makes it a lot easier to catch the occasional criminal in an apartment complex…

I feel sorry for people who are so afraid of other people that they tell themselves they need to live in a place like that.

You sound like someone who has lived a life of privilege and has never had all their life’s possessions stolen. Not every person is inherently good.

Imho people in gated communities still have those problems (therefore, this fence).

Where as most people who have those problems more frequently, can't afford to live in gated communities.

Sounds like you're coming from a good place.

Hey yo, when the rent is only about $200 a month, they can arrange the fence any way they want.
