re: #75 reine.de.tout

Not my neighbors.
Some guy bought up several properties and is renting rooms in them, which is illegal, he’s not set up to run a rooming house business, but that’s another matter and it’s being worked on through our city council rep.

At any rate - he rents rooms to all sorts of grown men who do not appear to have a driver’s license, and who can’t afford an entire apartment, they can only afford to rent a room. I don’t know where he finds these people, I think he advertises in various half-way houses around town. One renter was a convicted sex offender, we got the notice in our mailbox that he had moved in. I don’t think the property owner does ANY sort of background check on his renters, he just rents the rooms out. So, no “neighborhood net” here.

In a city that had a modicum of law, it wouldn’t be necessary to “work on it”. The whole point of laws is to constrain the behavior, not of nice people who will politely obey them all, but of the others whose answer is who’s going to stop me?
