My wife and I have been watching YouTube videos about real estate in Italy and Spain. All the houses are built like fortresses. Stone/masonry walls. Metal bars on all the ground floor windows. Many have shutters you can close too. Plus doors that are made of thick steel/wood combinations.
So no one can get in if you are not there.
At first I thought of this as a negative. Now, I think you will see this as a necessity in these Blue cities. That many of these things that we took for granite the last 50-100 years are changing. Especially, if you live in states controlled by liberals
In Blue/Democrat Run cities, people live in fear and danger of home robberies, car jackings, shootings, home invasions and crossfire in drug wars. It’s like living in Mogadishu
