I find it lamentable that students are placed at risk in an uncontrolled rental market where neither safety nor health seems to be of concern to the city.<BR/><BR/>There is also the notion of adherence to the law. Advertising of that which amounts to illegal rentals should not be permitted for reasons having to do with appreciation of the rule of law. The university, in its role as an educational entity, should not countenance or promote actions of a scofflaw nature. Nor should the city, for convenience sake, ignore its own codes and thereby selectively enforce them. Selective enforcement is known legally as non-feasance and is, in itself, a violation of the law.Zonemavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853753467348220533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944244558806877209.post-19225436776211503122009-01-07T18:40:00.000-08:002009-01-07T18:40:00.000-08:00Why do you care?

Most neighborhoods occupied by these students are not located in family friendly neighborhoods anyway. So stop fretting over all the students who are trying to get an education and just be happy the houses aren't being turned into Fraternities. Relax a little, you'll live longer. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
