[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The overcrowded houses are due to the reality that many of those individuals are undocumented. It’s not necessarily due to the cost of rent. They can’t get an apartment because they are paid cash and cannot produce the necessary paperwork.[/quote]

This.

It’s a win-win.  Landlords get to collect cash only rent that they don’t pay taxes on.  Tenants get a place to live.

So, it’s not an issue of there not being any empty apartments.

This was passed to give illegal immigrants options for rentals.  [/quote]

I can just imagine those law-ignoring landlords eagerly lobbying the county council to pass another regulation for them to ignore.

Wait, what?

No landlords had to lobby the county council.  The County Council wants illegal immigrants to feel welcome and have rental options.  [/quote]

In case you were wondering why your arguments didn't persuade the County Council to see matters your way? It's because you live in an alternate universe.[/quote]

It feels that way.

Montgomery County has become a universe where the politicians cater to people who have brazenly broken federal law.  The leadership prioritizes illegal immigrants over all else.  It absolutely seems surreal, somewhat like an alternate universe where the County no longer cares about its own citizens as much as it does about people who come here illegally.  [/quote]
