It’s rather crazy how much importance some people seem to place on this.
Also a little crazy how the twitter board has acted, from “we’ll absolutely ruin the company’s future finances if you even try” to what now seems to be accepting the bid.

Did they really have to shoehorn that into an unrelated article? I feel like that could stand on its own.

Saw this on Imgur and decided to verify it. It’s legit.
I really don’t understand why this is necessary.

it’s not as bad as it seems at first sight
most homes probably don’t have more than 3 bedrooms anyways
I can easily imagine it might be better to impose such limit because if there’s no limit then you can end up with crazy living arrangements that lead to crazy problems
of course that would only be caused by some people, not most, but as with many, if not most laws, they’re put in place because of the few for the greater good of all
It’s also pretty poor journalism not to try and at least try to explore or discover what could be the reason for this decision, especially given it’s unanimous. I wouldn’t be surprised it’s because it costs the county $10 million a year in 911 dispatches due to all types of domestic disturbances related to unbridled living arrangements, for example. (just an imaginary example, I’m completely unaware of wat could be the reason here)

Maybe they were thinking crowd control. “3s Company but 4 is a crowd.”

You only need 2 bedrooms to run afoul this.
I was aware that it was 4+. 4 adults living together seems rather easy to achieve though. Especially since some of the University housing of the uni i went is 4 in a single dorm room.
Hence why i dont understand.

The landlord argument works if there wasn’t a huge housing crisis going around. I have a hard time imagining there’s a lot of vacant homes they hope to get people to take, particularly as prices are still climbing.
I’d say it’s some sort of classism at work, they’re trying to get rid of all the poor people. But judging by the prices, again, you’d have to be at least middle class to share an apartment in the area.
It is indeed a rather puzzling decision and quite frankly I’m not even sure it’s a legal thing to do. This will probably be challenged in federal court soon.

What are you on about? This might make a bit of sense if there were only a handful of landlords in a city, but when the barrier to entry is simply land ownership, you can’t just assume a person’s only other option is to rent from you. The landlord simply adjusts the price for utilities and wear and then it makes no difference to them.
No, as anyone who owns a house (theirs or otherwise) knows, the big costs in most places here in the US are property taxes and utilities (the latter of which are often run or overseen by the county). This is true for both homeowners and landlords, and it’s the driving reason behind the rent being “too damn high!”. Because even if you “own” property, you still have to pay for it. It is the city/county that stands to obviously benefit from requiring that more places be occupied. Vacant homes are indeed a common occurrence, and a real “problem” for the city/county.
To summarize, if someone is forced out of a rental, the landlord does not reasonably expect them to move into another of their rentals, if they even have multiple rentals that include unoccupied ones. However, the city/county generally can expect people to stay in the city/county for their job.
