There is no way I could get out some of the windows without getting a
ladder. And many just do not open. Not all houses have opening windows.
Some houses in this area have just panes of glass with some small part that
opens under the window for ventilation.

What about areas with high crime? They have bars on the window. And in
some of the military housing, if you have a child under a certain age, there
has to be a guard over the window so they won't accidentally fall out.

Your theory just doesn't hold any water.
