[StBernard] Doors and Windows

[Westley Annis]

Westley, very sensible. Mabye the council can reconsider to allow an
exception to the doors and windows. Have not thought about the squatters.
Good point.

	--------------------------------------------------
	This is just my opinion on the doors and windows.
	
	I think that as long as a house is gutted completely there is no
reason for
	doors and windows.  In fact, I think it is better to not have them.
	
	If a house is completely open it will be easier for whatever
neighbors may
	be around it to keep an eye out for vagrants.
	
	Although a lot of folks know their neighbors, how many can pick up
the phone
	and dial their cell phone today?
	
	If you start putting doors and windows up, what is to stop a vagrant
from
	breaking in the back door, putting curtains up in the windows and
now the
	neighbors think someone is moving back in.  But, they can no longer
see into
	the house to see what is going on.
	
	Should they happen to catch the vagrants entering or leaving, all
they need
	to say is they are renting the property.  Who's going to know?
	
	If the house is wide open, you may have some stray/wild animals
wander
	through it.  But I don't think much would happen and the owner, or
whoever
	is maintaining the property, can check the insides when they come
around to
	cut the grass.
