[RP TownTalk] multiple families/apartments

[OurDollMom at aol.com]

Some time ago I went to a meeting about
this topic.  The answer was the courts are
so overloaded with serious cases that the
judges will not hear or prosecute people
who have multiple family members/friends
living with them.  Also was mentioned that
these people are trying to survive, make a
living, send money back home, etc. They
said the rules cannot be enforced.

On  the same subject, what is the maximum number of people allowed in, for  
instance, a 1 bedroom apartment?  Just curious...

I've noticed this too Nancy.  This is going on all over town. 
Based on my understanding, the maximum number of unrelated individuals  
allowable by law is five per household.  I had to abide by this law when  I had 
rental property in Hyattsvile.

Subject: [RP TownTalk] multiple  families/single family homes 

I have begun to wonder what the impact is on our town  of these many single 
family homes that are crammed with  families.

I know of one instance where a family of 4 shares a  bedroom in the back of 
a house.  Another large family has the  front of the house, and at least 
one other person is living in the  basement.

I think there are at least three families - by the  number of 'moms' and 
kids I see.  (I'm assuming they are moms) in  the house next to me - which has 
4 bedrooms at the most.

I know  this group can be very caustic - please no insults about me being  
racist, or bigoted, or, whatever.  These people I'm speaking of  are my 
friends.  But it just seems unhealthy and in the long run  - a burden on the 
town services.

What I would like to know is  what are the costs to the town, and what can 
we do to reduce this  impact?

Nancy
