Around here I've only seen them on buisnesses, never a house.
I'm sure some people will claim they're necessary, but realistically, if someone wants inside your house, bars on the windows aren't going to stop them.

After Andrew, 1/2 of Miami moved to Pembroke Pines and now migrating even further north. I visited for the holidays and could not believe how many signs in North Broward are now in English ans Spanish, or should I say Spanish then English. Disgusting!
Tell us something new , wow what an informative insightful post , signs in Spanish in North Broward really where I have not seen them ?

What piece of Shangri-la do you live in , please let us know , enlighten us ?

I like the video post. No, not all of Miami looks like that, just like L.A. doesnt all look like Compton, but those areas still exist, whether you never go through them or not.

How on earth is this a silly post?

The original poster asked for pictures of NW 63rd St. That street runs through Liberty City. I found a video taken by someone while they drove down a street one block away.

I don't see how my post could have been any more relevant.

To be honest, I thought that video made the neighborhood look like nothing out of the ordinary. It could have been made in almost any of the north Dade neighborhoods west of Biscayne.

After all, we all know Liberty City hasn't gotten BETTER since then.

I think it's safe to say that no one on here lives in Liberty City.
