This is also standard appearance - bars on doors/windows, gates around property - and, has been, in border towns, for decades.
Now, it will become popular, all across the land, especially in these blue states.
Had a friend who was from S Africa (hubby is in oil and gas) who said this is also how they lived. With additional iron gates INSIDE their house, in bedroom hallway. 😱😱
The latest is locked, gated porches. I’m seeing this more and more.
