New Yorkers are fortifying their homes with panic rooms and bullet-proof doors like never before over fears about crime, migrants and national turmoil — and it’s not just the city’s elite partaking in the trend.
“Not every [customer] is an ultra-rich stockbroker — a lot of them are just people, middle-class kind of people,” said Steve Humble, founder of the home-defense contractor Creative Home Engineering.
“I’d say the pandemic really kicked off an uptick. Business was really good throughout the pandemic time, and it really hasn’t slowed down,” said Humble, who specializes in top-of-the-line secret doors disguised as bookshelves, fireplaces, mirrors, blank walls and whatever else a client can think of to conceal a safety room behind them.
He is one of numerous home-defense contractors who told The Post that the past four years have been a boon for business, with New Yorkers from all walks of life shelling out thousands of dollars to outfit their homes with hidden rooms, bulletproof doors and a swath of other covert security systems to keep the baddies at bay should they come knocking.

Stop voting stupid
A few remotely fired set-guns scattered throughout the house would probably be a good idea, too.
Another better investment might be to vote in politicians, prosecutors and judges who will actually enforce the law and keep violent criminals in jail.
Repeal NYC gun laws that make the average citizen sheep to be slaughtered by criminal wolves.

Uh... you don’t want to be stuck in a panic room in NYC when the SHTF...
You can see Creative Home Engineering stuff right here:
You still would need a 12 gauge shot gun and and AR rifle with a 40 round mag.
Ain’t Communism wonderful.
We can't have that now, can we?
Practice panicking. Run around in circles saying, what do I do
.what do I do?!
Oh wait, I’ve got a panic room.
Stay in NYC. We’re full.
I’m a big believer in having a secure room based on what fits your budget.
As a young husband I would put dead bolts on our bedroom door everywhere we lived so that the wife would be able to sleep safer when I was away, someone handy and owning a home might spend some money to add some reinforcement in the shared wall between the master bath and the bedroom, and replacing door trim and the bathroom door with something more substantial with whatever it takes to keep the door closed.
If your wife can handle the idea, a pistol under the sink is a nice touch.
It appears that they are preparing for SWAT.
What good is a safe room if your house is on fire?
they have been that so long it’s altered there DNA
“a lot of them are just people, middle class people”...that voted D. “elections have consequences and then everyone suffers the consequences” applies.
I would say move but as they say, you can run but you can’t hide.
