Sounds like the Parish is trying to control who moves in the area. St. Bernard should try to concentration on encouraging people to move back. Whatever happened to homeowners’ right? I did not know the government can tell you who to sell? What are the homeowner’s blood relatives are dead? This is crazy. St. Bernard will never grow or prosperity. Their will be no economic broom and empty –rotten homes. These rulers are too strict. This is a problem. Sounds like the Parish is trying to control who moves in the area.

How can you rebuild a community by passing ridiculous ordinances?These council members obviously didn’t do their homework on the long term affects this ordinance. You can’t just pass an ordinance in hopes to better the quality of life for yourself and neighbors. What are they trying to do, play God? Ms. Hoffmeister said that homeownership is a critical part of St. Bernard’s recovery plan. It seems to me that they are trying to force homeownership instead of renting. What about the citizens who, like Mr. Rodrigue, bought three homes to fix up and rent. Now he is forced to rent them to “blood relatives”. What if he has no blood relatives that want to rent them? Consequently he is now force to sell them. What were these council members thinking when they voting for this ordinance?
