Because they are not neighbors.  They consider themselves ‘family’, which is how they get away with living in that situation.  It’s technically illegal to have multiple unrelated families living in a SFH in Montgomery County.  However, when pressed, these families say they are all ‘related’ so there can be no enforcement of housing code laws.

So, you choose.  Either they are all families, and can support each other with $40, or they are unrelated and need to be forced to move out because they are living there illegally. [/quote]

Or, there are multiple unrelated families living in a house, which is not legal under current Montgomery County housing code, which is based on the assumption of one nuclear family per housing unit - and all of this is entirely irrelevant to the facts that

1. Saturday School is not free, and
2. $40 is a lot of money for people working low-wage jobs[/quote]

Of course it’s relevant.

And, some are arguing that students from lower income families don’t do as well in school because their families don’t prioritize education.

Likely, the truth is somewhere in the middle.  And there are lower income students who fall in each category.[/quote]

Nobody is saying CAN'T. Read again. People are saying that it's more difficult. Which it is.[/quote]
