It keeps transients, stray dogs, and unsupervised neighborhood children out of the area. It's also a liability issue; it offers some protection in avoiding kids or others hurting themselves or getting hit by a moving vehicle on our property. I don't believe the fence provides a 'false sense of security' as you suggest. Most of us lock our vehicles. Row8.9n was originally conceived as a true gated community, but that plan was opposed by the Hope Gardens neighborhood leaders. What a disaster that would have been. The problem of intruders in the parking area is extremely rare.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
