It's not necessary and it's an eyesore. And wooden front porch steps & awnings would look a lot nicer than the concrete ones and the prefab green awnings. It wouldn't be any more expensive for steps that size and would allow for more variation in the individual design, color, etc. And window bars are always ugly. Without exception. And unnecessary - they don't require them in most other similar postindustrial cities (ie: Chicago, Philly, etc.). My 2¢:

These are nice! What do I have to do to get a Habitat home? I would certainly help build my home if I knew it would come out looking like this. Hey! These are nice!
