Yeah, that "significant difference" is what I'm interested in. There seems to be some underlying principle that we'll ask you to put your property & other tenants' lives at risk in the service of Ending Discrimination, but not your own, as long as you're "Mrs Murphy"ing it and your house doesn't have more than 4 rooms, after which point you can afford to hire a super to deal with the people the law previously allowed you to exclude.
Is that an accurate assessment of the logic, or is there a more charitable explanation?
- w4 10y agoThe idea is that you get to choose your immediate neighbors (on any basis other than race, because race is always protected) if they share the same house with you. When you're running a business the tenants aren't your immediate neighbors, so you don't get to choose them based on certain protected criteria. You can only choose them based on their ability to pay, for instance, or any other criteria not deemed to be socially harmful. > There seems to be some underlying principle that we'll ask you to put your property & other tenants' lives at risk in the service of Ending Discrimination, but not your own Seriously? If you think that renting to minorities or other protected classes means "putting your property & other tenants' lives at risk," then I just don't know what to tell you here.
