The Urban House in some urban areas needs to be a fortress. Unfortunate but true, because many urban neighborhoods are potential areas where predators threaten, and protection against them must be hard, offering no opportunity for criminal actions. Having lived in Camden, NJ, a high-crime environment, for many years, I always thought if I built a house there it would look something like this (CLICK ON IMAGE). Cement block exterior, possibly veneered with T-111, Automatic Garage door, no windows on ground floor, "Keep out" signs all around (Just kidding), but a dog wouldn't hurt, a canine early warning system...
