How is this even a thing? Couldn't two families just define themselves as a big extended family? They could for example just have two people marry for a day, move into the upstairs and downstairs respectively, and then get divorced the next day to hack the system.
- dillondoyle 5y agoIt's 100% a thing in law. Denver up until very recently only allowed 2!!! They shouldn't have to. That's a ton of work. At one point in time black people could vote if they 'hacked the system' by paying or passing a test.

- closeparen 5y ago“Single family” is a property of the building, not the people living in it. A multi-family building has separately locking units with their own kitchens. Where there are too many large houses and not enough apartments, many of the houses end up with would-be apartment dwellers living communally. You do sometimes here about communities trying to enforce prohibitions on unrelated people living together in single family homes, but where the zoning itself is almost universal in America, such enforcement is very rare.
