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.

Hey yo, when the rent is only about $200 a month, they can arrange the fence any way they want.
