Anybody see this today in the Daily?
A new housing code for the City of Ames that's been in the works:
New rental housing code could raise rent
My girlfriend pointed it out. This looks all fine and dandy, and was probably needed... but I want to point out the first "highlight" point at the bottom of the article:
"— No more than three unrelated persons in a unit."
Now, when I read "unit", I read something like "apartment".
So unless by "unit" they mean "bedroom" or something, I find such a policy to be completely outrageous.
That being said, my girlfriend and I both looked through the City of Ames webpage that the article links to, and after skimming through it, didn't find any mention of new limitations on the number of unrelated people living in a "unit", or even what that "unit" might refer to.
So I'm throwing this out to you, the fine community here at CF:
Anybody have any idea if there is any sort of validity to this? Anyone with inside info or connections with City of Ames policymakers?
Or is the Daily just completely wrong, and published wrong info / made a typo / etc...?
