The Failed Pacifist

Evicting Families in Missouri

The city of Black Jack, Missouri has a law which prohibits four or more people living together, unless they are related by "blood, marriage or adoption". That means families with two or more kids are in violation of the law if the parents are unmarried. Unless mom or dad move out.

Yesterday, the city council rejected a change in the law. The 5-3 vote against the change means the city may evict families of four or more, if the parents are unmarried.
