It's really there for the peace of mind, I can always get in regardless of what car I am driving (rental key ring is in my car) or if police or fire or medical personnel needed to gain access, they can always get in--without bulldozing the door.     

Who wants to live in a police state.

How do you police that?

We had a tenant who was arrested, jailed, convicted, and then released with a police ankle monitor.

better watch out the BP police are everywhere 

Then, when he causes disrubances call the police.

The complaints from tenants were so bad he offered local police "Free Rent" for one year in order to bring Police Presence into the building with the hopes of reducing crime complaints.

You can't expect them to police how people live inside the property.  

Anita Anita,There are many forum threads here on BP about areas but here's my take on it:A - location where you and I (and everybody here on BP) want to live in (very low crime, no houses or apartments with boarded up windows, schools are the best in the country or best in the state or best in the county)B - a grade below A, this is where the middle class lives, good school district, still low crime rateC - this is lower middle class, higher crime rate, schools middle of the road in terms of rating, rarely do you see a house/building with boarded up windows but it happensD - clearly lower income area, very high crime rate, one house per block is boarded upF - this is called the WAR ZONE, every other house is boarded up, drug dealing and prostitution happening in every other corner specially at night, graffitti galore and even the police is afraid to go there because this is where 90% of violent crimes happenI started with Fs/Ds and I thought I went to heaven when I got Cs.

It's why every police department needs cops hat are more like the ones on Chicago PD then Joe Friday.
