This would totally be the end of the Biltmore.

So just keep the crack house in its chosen neighborhood?

@3) If it's actually a crack house, there are laws to bust those people and evict them under existing laws. But people shouldn't be evicted when police and the landlord haven't proven wrongdoing.

Anything that encourages crack heads to stop renting and start building some equity is good in my book.

Hey, Dominic, is it true that I-75 used paid signature gatherers? That's not how I remember it but what do I know?

Not only does the War on Drugs not work, we're gonna force someone else to do it.

Sounds bad initially but... It calls for a CIVIL penalty on the LANDLORD who, presumably, will remain under obligation to follow all applicable laws re tenancy. Time to get the rusted Chevy's out of the front yard.

I smell a class action lawsuit.

This is a terrible idea.

In essence, it puts the landlords in a position of being de-facto law enforcement, with no training in the law, no jury, no judicial oversight, and no way to appeal.

Well, since "crying like a fucking baby while arguing with your girlfriend until 3am last night" isn't a felony, what good does this do me? Also, when people are sentenced for felonies, they tend not to be your neighbors any longer, so what's the point?

Shitty neighbors suck, but I'll bet you $100 this legislation is secretly about someone parking in a spot in front of Mr. Dunn's house that he thinks belongs to him.

Another Republicant solution. MORE HOMELESS, MORE PRISONS. What next? Foreclosure if your child gets caught smoking a joint?

The legislation was endorsed by King County's Sheriff and it has bipartison support.
