Why would they even want to stop it.
I live in an area with similar fencing. It's most likely a gated community, with only one entrance and exit. That makes it a lot easier to catch the occasional criminal in an apartment complex..
The lower end of the bars being somewhat lifted and having a trail under it might not be an accident, they might have done that to allow turtles and other wildlife passages.
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.
It's the entrance to a school, the road and sidewalk loop around just to the right. The fence protects the grass.
If someone would come there with a screwdriver with a bit appropriate for gutter work, they could unscrew those bolts, steal the fence and dump it far from there. As a community service, of course.
The left side seems to be 5/16th or 1/4 hex heads. But the right side does appear to be rivited same as the spokes. Not sure how they would get that together in the first place though? Better bring a drill with 1/4 bit to drill out just in case. Fresh cobalt bit should have that gone in under a minute
