A suburban Chicago man has been told to stop the “slumber parties” he hosts in a basement for freezing homeless people — or the home will be condemned.
“I would stay up all night with them and give them coffee and stuff and feed them,” Greg Schiller, of Elgin, told NBC Chicago of the events in his girlfriend’s basement.
Schiller said his reading of city code allows for “slumber parties,” but city officials claim that code applies to children’s parties, not adults.
According to the city, the “parties” Schiller hosts a few times a week actually make the home a “rooming house,” which is prohibited by city code, the Chicago Tribune reported.

They can only stay if they are illegals seeking sanctuary.
If they were deported 5 times even better.
Otherwise there are laws in the US?
Oh,that’s right only if you are a non-government employee.
If he’s not charging them anything how can it be called a “rooming house?”
Towns near colleges often restrict occupancy of unrelated people.
Indeed.
Why wouldn’t you want your basement filled with drug addicts shooting up, peeing and pooping?
Well he did say “no drugs and booze” Don’t know the man but will assume he did a search of them. If he catches them with drugs he has the right to toss them.
Will also assume his basement has a water closet, I mean a lot of basements have those these days.
It’s not Chicago, it’s Elgin which is about 30 miles or so west of Chicago proper. It used to be a nice middl class town. Hasn’t been one in decades. I used to live there.

Undoubtedly partly true.
Even people who are drunks can usually get it together for a few days. Long enough for a few days employment that will give them the money to rent a room.
They will undoubtedly some day drink themselves to death but they will not be doing it in the streets and they won't be begging.
But giving someone a temporary cash job is not allowed and rooming houses are not allowed and they cry about the homeless.
We just listened to all the Little House books on Audible this fall, and there was that time when the Ingalls family took in the men coming to claim parcels of land by their future town (before it was a town), when it was cold and snowy, charging them a couple coins a day for a cot and meals. They locked those little girls up at night pretty tight. The ground floor was filled with men drinking and whatnot.
Elgin IL is a sanctuary city. Actually IL is now a sanctuary state, with our dopey Republican governor.
Well, I know my HOA also had terms limiting the number of unrelated persons in a house. Because all those extra people were taking other homeowner’s assigned spaces.
Except mine.
Probably because I kept an INS hat on the dashboard, and routinely wore an INS raid jacket when going to and from the car. Of course, it had become ICE by then, so they needed new Raid Jackets, and they handed out all the old ones to the contractors as a freebie (they were apparently considered expendible items. . .)
