ORIGINAL: thornhappy Hi Tazzy-- 6 guys in a small apartment (1 bedroom, for instance or even 2 bedrooms) will usually be evicted or reported to the city/county. It was common in Santa Barbara/Goleta/Isla Vista for immigrants to pile up in small apartments and man did that piss off the neighbors. Most of the landlords were absentee and the number of occupants made for several code violations. What's not so ironic is that the folks who got the most pissed off are the same ones who use gardening services employing the guys living in the apartments. Or pick up day laborers by the hardware stores. Love that cheap labor. Just hate seeing said labor actually living nearby. quote:

ORIGINAL: cuckoldmepls I beg to differ, if you are a minority, and there are no factory jobs or residual jobs near by from the factory payroll, you can't just hop in a car and drive to another city to get a job without knowing someone. It takes money to stay in motels, and most people won't hire you if you are a complete stranger. Not only that you have to put up deposits to get a place to live so you are easily looking at $1,000 in up front costs to drive somewhere else for a job. Then you have the old lady or parents who are always ragging on you to pay the bills. Some people are forced into it out of desperation. Even a liberal should be able to understand that, since liberals are always blaming society, not the individual. I disagree. One person? perhaps not. But why stop at one person? 6 guys to an apartment, all paying, is much easier to manage, and allows for an easier time to save. Mexicans do it all the time. Its how so many of them can afford to send money home. While we may not like their presence, we can learn from them. We dont have that problem here. Most of these guys work different shifts, so its hard to tell how many live there at any given moment. Resort areas i have lived in also had no problems. Kids piled in at the beginning of summer... left at the end.. paid their deposits.. no one cared. I personally would not care provided the noise was kept to a minimum and trash didnt pile up. Beyond that, i dont care how many live in an apartment/house.
