Indeed. Obeying the basic rules of life is for unenlightened squares like me.
To: Quick1
The rules are set. You must be married. They weren't.
Tough. Get married.

Some of us don't necessarily need marriage to know we've made a committment to one another.If there is no marriage, there is no commitment.

Sounds like a dumb set of rules. Why should the government decide if I want to buy a house with a few friends?

Because the govt. sets the rules on who can live there.

They aren't parents. Parents are married.

Marriage has ruined a lot of perfectly good relationships.A better description might be that marriage has exposed many, many superficial, shallow relationships for the sordid reality of what they actually were in the first place.

It's to keep college kids out. Four college kids can create quite a ruckus.
Well, there's good law for you. "Let's screw 100 people over to prevent a possible problem with one or two of them." Yeah, that sounds about right.

Why the hell not? I know a couple that has been together 20 years, and they are better than most married couples. The non-marriage thing isn't for everyone, but for a few couples, it's perfect. Why should the government be deciding for this couple?

The government doesn't have the right to determine who may live with whom. That, under modern jurisdprudence, is contained within the fundamental right to privacy rooted in the Due Process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. (Like it or not, this is the law.)

What if it didn't work out? They don't want to rush into things. < /sarcasm >

Because the govt. sets the rules on who can live there. And you consider this to be a good thing?
Over-crowding is one thing. If a government wants to make sure 20 people aren't living in a house, pass such a law. But that isn't the case here. This is government trying to regulate who you can jointly purchase property with.

Then why is it ok to have one child in the home if they aren't married?

If they were in Kansas, they could be married by common law.

I wonder if this town also has a law prohibiting "sex toys."
To: Quick1
Why the hell not? I know a couple that has been together 20 years, and they are better than most married couples.Uh-huh. The hyperbole doesn't surprise me.
How many kids?

That sounds about right.

Why is that any of the government's business? I've read stories of landlords buying a home and then renting it out to 50 unrelated people. That means noisy coming and going all hours of the day and night along with about 30 cars parked in the driveway, yard and up and down the street.
I'd bet you'd want the government to have some kind of ordinance prohibiting this going on in the house next door.
