<P>There are numerous reasons for limits to the number of people in a home not the least of which is safety.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>When a home is designed, the architect makes assumptions about how many people will be living there. This becomes significant when you start to count the number of exits. Theres a litany of regulations in this area, which I do not want to get into, but it's all related to safety. Imagine a fire at one of the homes with four families. Assuming two children per family, that would mean 16 people living in a house designed for ~6 people (three bedrooms 1.5 baths). All of them would be scrambling for the two exits. I would not want to be one of them.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>The other issue is living conditions. Imagine 16 people living in a three bedroom house with 1.5 bathrooms, a living room, and a dining room. That would mean there would be three people sleeping in each room with four in one of them. Would any of you want to live like that?<BR>Imagine 16 people bathing in one bathroom or sharing one kitchen. Would any of you want to be one of those people? On 43rd there was a grandmother with three children living in a garage awhile back using electric space heaters in the winter and yes this was in Riverdale. Does this sound like the kind of living conditions we want in this town or anywhere else for that matter. What about basic human dignity. I hear a lot of talk about it. For your information, this is what it's all about.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>I keep reading all of this motherhood, but what about the reality of it all. Does anyone out there think about these things?</P>
<P> </P>

<P class=MsoNormal>Bruce's theory is only one scenario in the Big City of immigration in America. And in landlording. Most landlords are not out to beat the tax system illegally. At least not the ones in my sphere. And we are also not out to take advantage of tenants, citizens or undocumented immigrants. <o:p></o:p></P>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>Long before America's recent invasions/wars broke the bank, families and friends have been doubling up in houses. And in apartments. Part of it has been economic beyond the economy, part of it is cultural. My own Ukrainian relatives packed into a small house made for a fifth of the number of those who lived there. That was during Calvin Coolidge's administration. And it's happened to every immigrant population since, not to mentioned US born Americans. It's just more obvious to communities when the gang is "outsiders." And we immediately think they don't belong and that they are here illegally. A whole lot of assuming is going on here. <o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>One more thing: Americans are generally a people overhoused. Too darn much space for each person in a single house. Bathrooms that go on for acres, kitchens large enough for Emeril Lagasse to do his show. Should we be astounded when someone from a different culture takes new approach to otherwise wasted space? <o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>As far as fear of property values going down because "too many" people live at one address, consider if these same people were forced to live outside the dwelling, on the street. Property values would be really down then. And that would be the least of our problems. <o:p></o:p></P></DIV>

<P>Oh please, enough with the motherhood, this has been going on for years. There are two houses around a block from my house that have/had multiple families living in them long before the economic downturn. One of them, next to Ernie's Lock, was shut down about 18 months ago for this reason. The other still has around four families living in it.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P>It's unfortunate, but many of these places are halfway houses for illegal immigrants/families. This is the way it works. A citizen or a legal immigrant buys a house. To pay for the house he/she rents rooms to illegal immigrants/families. Since the illegal immigrants/family have no identification, credit history, social security number(s), etc, it's difficult if not impossible for them to rent an apartment or find a regular job. This means that they must work as day laborers and therefore pay their rent in cash. It's perfect for the landlord because; there is no record of rent payments; there is no enforcement of rental laws because as far as the county is concerned the house is not a rental property; the landlord doesn't have to spend any money on maintainenance, insurance, etc. because again the house is "not a rental property"; enforcement of rental laws is lax if not non-existent; and the landlord doesn't claim the rent as income so he/she doesn't pay any taxes on it while still geting all of the related benefits that we taxpayers pay for. Not only that, if the illegal immigrant/family is having difficulty paying their rent, the landlord can threaten to turn them over to the INS or just throw them out with absolutely no consequences. The tenants have no recourse since they are not legal residents.<o:p></o:p></P>
