Even Rock Hill SC small town the c and d properties , rents are climbing and ridiculous in my eyes.

even without unlocking the door someone can break the glass and climb through the window of the door. 

But I'm very careful to check the recalls on Ikea's dressers -- there have been incidents where children have been injured or died when a dresser they were climbing fell on them.Other reasons that I have not rented to prospective tenants with children is due to the hazards of a fireplace (woodburning -- obvious hazards;  gas fireplace -- can be burned if touching the hot glass; electric fireplace -- with the one in my personal residence, you need to be very careful when removing the glass, as it shatters very easily.)

An experienced rock climber may climb without safety ropes and may never get hurt.

Some small child will walk in the open gate, climb up on the platform and fall in the pool and drown.

We raise our children, advise our children, and encourage our children to climb mountains and accomplish goals.

For all I know, they did this just to make trash clean-up easier, but it's also gotten rid of the problem of the raccoons climbing into those dumpsters.So, it's much better from my point of view (someone who doesn't want the feral animals around where I live).

Additionally, if the well is more than a certain depth (I cannot recall off the top of my head) you require steps/ladder to ensure someone can climb out of the well.

Like the friend of a friend of my tenants who climbed up on top of the garage with a gladiator helmet and a shield.... and some other friend mooning him out the window. 

. - concerning the sq ft and room differential between our two properties:  the rental market has climbed in most of DFW since we leased up a year ago; I have not tracked Desoto since we have a 2-year lease, but I imagine Desoto is up as well.
