Does living in a high-rise automatically mean better access control or security?

Quick answer

No. High-rises can offer more layers such as staffed lobbies, controlled elevators and structured garages, but the actual systems and management practices matter. A poorly maintained gate or weak guest process can undermine the advantage. Grant wants renters to inspect how access works in real life rather than treating the word “high-rise” as a safety guarantee.
