Thread: Housing Ordinances

I had an interesting conversation with one member of our borough council. We were discussing the illegal immigration and I was told that here we have a housing ordinance that prohibits families to live in the same house without separate rooms for the boys and girls in the family.

I also have found out that there are local ordinances that also address how many people can be in a dwelling.

The council member told me that the law enforcement has their hands tied when it comes to dealing with illegal immigrates, but that they do have the authority to enforce local ordinances. To many families in one house and they can charge the landlord and occupants with violating the local ordinance.

Check your local housing ordinances. If there is nothing there insist that an ordinance be passed to protect the "boys and girls" of the family. Make sure that you have ordinances that address the size of a "family" that can occupy a dwelling. With the illegals from Mexico it is common that "families" live together. Just a thought.....

Funny you should say that.

My husband just told me earlier today that there were 12 illegals living in and renting one trailor home

THese laws are only worthwhile if enforced....we have square footage laws as a part of our zoning laws....try to get them to enforce them on a squalid tenement house full of scum illegals.

Local law enforcement is more likely to respond to a local complaint. Especially with ordinances that prohibit boys and girls to sleep in the same bedroom and beds. I have noticed also that most communities have noise ordinances. Wait until you neighborhood has boom boxes blasting all over the place. If one can't hear his blasting music he turns it up.

Do you live in that same town that tried to run out the bi-racial couple with kids that were living together, unmarried, and they were told that the housing they were living in was for married couples only and they would have to marry or move?

...I got news for ya....when we were growing up, it was not uncommon to have to share a bed with multiple siblings...and of different genders. I don't know...these "lifestyle" ordinances bother me. Too close to the slipppery slope. Our homes are supposed to be our casteles/sanctuaries.

How many "cousins" shared the same bed? Everytime I encounter an illegal large family with different last names I get the same old reply, "My cousins."

no kissing cousins....we were all siblings (all 12 of us: and if my parents had been required to shove 6 girls and 6 boys in each of two rooms, it would have been pandemonium! We often were "arranged" by age groupings...and yes gender after puberty)

Get together with people in your town, and have all of them call the town and complain. If enough people call it works, I've seen it first hand over and over here on the island. If you can get over 10 people from the same neighborhood to call over and over, it works, everytime. We've done it.
