Stupid Laws and Stupid Proposals
A zoning ordinance adopted this month by the city of Manassas redefines family, essentially restricting households to immediate relatives, even when the total is below the occupancy limit.[...]
Fairfax County is seeking authority from the state to impose criminal fines and jail time on landlords who rent houses to more than four unrelated people, typically immigrants.
(That's Manassas, Virginia. And that's Fairfax County, Virginia. So tell me, what the hell is wrong with Virginia, exactly? From this day forth, I don't want to hear a peep about Texas. Not from any of you. Never again. Not one syllable.)
The emphasis, by the way, in both cases? Mine. And here is your source.
My take?
Actually, I have two. First: A people who are not free to choose the number and description of their roommates are not actually free at all. No matter what the national anthem says.
Second: this is the kind of garbage legislation you get when your ideological focus is on the tax base, not on ethical principles.
