Something at stltoday's forum actually caught my interest sufficiently to post a comment.

What's the definition of a family?

I’m a old fashioned guy. I believe that the family unit is ordained by God. I believe that shakin up is a sin. If I had rental property I would not rent to anyone living together outside of wedlock.

And Title VIII of the federal Civil Rights Act 1968 says you lose, fuckwit.

Wow. That stuff just amazes me. Why do you need an occupancy permit? Basically, you need a license from the city in order to live in your property? That just sounds stupid.

The Occupancy Permit (at least here in PA) simply means that the building meets the codes set forth for that structure in that area or zone. We needed one when my sister opened a Deli.

I also found reason to comment in this debate.

This is idiocy. A stable living arrangement, decent income, two adults and three children in a five-bedroom house. All that is lacking for the complete traditional package is one marriage license -- not even issued by the city, but by the state.

The variance from city ordinance should be a no-brainer; if it is not, then the city official's motives and/or competence must come into question.

What's the definition of a family?

That's that thing when two or more people feel a close sense of kinship for each other at the same time. Sometimes it doesn't even last that long, other times it does. Sometimes all the people are genetically related to each other. Other times not so much.
