<P>I've noticed this too Nancy. This is going on all over town.</P>

<P>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.</P>

<TD vAlign=top>I have begun to wonder what the impact is on our town of these many single family homes that are crammed with families.<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>What I would like to know is what are the costs to the town, and what can we do to reduce this impact?<BR><BR>Nancy<BR><BR></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY><pre>
