<< Besides, what exactly is the problem that folks perceive stemming from households with unrelated adults? Are they more likely to be poor? Male? Have unsavory characteristics? What? I would really like to hear about it. Connie Nompelis Ventura Village >> Keith says; Perhaps the issue would be that at some point, or level of occupancy, say a 12 bedroom house with 18 unrelated occupants (some "rooms" accommodating couples) you have the equivalent of a 12 unit apartment building in a residential block that is zoned R-2. To boot, because of the budget, bottom of the housing market, nature of "rooms for rent, shared kitchen and bath", you are bound to have more turn over, less accountability and respect for the digs, and all else one might fear from a less desirable housing option. I owned and managed a second floor of a mixed use building that contained 2 apartments with one shared bath. It was always high management with little gratification, except of course, the money (cash cow). Of course this type of thing should be available, and even highly concentrated in Jim Graham's Phillips neighborhood; but it would be totally unreasonable in a place like Jim Mork's Cooper neighborhood. Cooper being an R-2 neighborhood; and quite respectable. Keith Reitman NearNorth REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules?
