[nagdu] Local fair-housing complaints fromdisabledpeopleareonthe rise

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (IS)]

That's why he/she should have a good editor and copyeditor who *does*
know the meaning of such phrases. 
And, we're talking about housing discrimination. If I put up an add
saying "this neighborhood is quiet and peaceful" I could get in trouble
with a family with kids as kids aren't "quiet and peaceful" and the
family could feel unwelcome. 
If I wrote an ad saying "This neighborhood has a good ethic feel". 
I could get in trouble with African-Americans who might view it as a
code phrase or with people who are white who may feel unwelcome by such
an ad. 
The reporter should be held to the same standards and has the support
people to ensure that he/she does.

Not that I'm trying to defend the reporter, but he/she probably did not
realize the exact implication of the phrase.

Guys,
Sarah didn't write this article, some idiot reporter did. He/she was the
one who first said "bending of the rules". Implying people with service
animals were doing something wrong.
Kind of ironic  given the subject matter and that the article was
written presumably to prevent housing discrimination.

Sarah,
    The Fair Housing Act requires landlords to modify policies,
practices, and procedures to allow service animals. This is not a
"bending" of the rules, it is a requirement by law. HTH!
