Here in Raleigh NC there is discrimination against all persons seeking to rent, lease housing, or just choose where they live. The local municipality has put into place several of their own laws (ordinance) in order to accomplish this the first is that no more than four unrelated persons can live in any home no matter how large the home if it has accommodations for all occupants or not! The home could have five bedrooms and five baths and not meet the requirements. The second thing they done was to put in place that no group home, substance abuse home etc. etc. could be within so many feet of one another. Now I say that since we all live in the United States and since we ALL are supposed to be protected against discrimination in any form this should come to an immediate stop. I also know that all across this country this very thing has been struck down by the high courts. For all who agree with me and think this is a horrible practice that shouldn't be allowed to continue please contact me, your local representatives, congressmen and so forth to put a stop to this once and for all. Can you imagine telling other groups of people they can't live within a certain area because there already is a home where homosexuals live, a group of females, or males, or a group of Latinos, Blacks, all this is discrimination at it's worse in my opinion. And just think our local municipality is the one who is discrimination and using federal dollars for housing! No local municipality should be allowed to enact any law which is contrary to the federal law, yet as you can see it is being done on a daily basis resulting in low income, disabled, and homeless not being able to access Good Safe and Affordable Housing. If you are interested in assisting with this cause please contact me via. email here at this site I have more.
