Normally I DONT LIKE HOAs rules however in this case what is the home
owner trying to accomplish?

note the photo, theres a glass wndow in view at ground level.

a burglar could easily use the window to gain access.............

the home owners hard earned money would of been better spent on a good
security system

bars prevent break ins by making it harder for a criminal to access
the building. A security system notifies the homeowner and hopefully
the police that someone has just broken in and is in the process of
doing things that they're not supposed to be doing.
