Some fraternity houses ARE a group of apartments. Some fraternity houses are like dorms. Some fraternity houses are single family houses. Don't assume everything everywhere is like what you're used to. The laws vary from state to state, city to city, town to town (I guess I had to say this super explicitly too).

So congratulations - now someone is going to point to your post and yell "SEE TEH BROTHEL LAW GC SAID SO!!"
....well, I really can't draw you any clearer of a DISconnection either.

My post was in response to your comment "THERE ARE NO BROTHEL LAWS IN THE USA" and I also specifically said "IT PROBABLY DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT THERE ARE NO SORORITY HOUSES".

To further clarify: It was your brothel statement that I commented on that was 100% unrelated to whether or not there were sorority houses.

Just so you know...My post had to do with the fact there are brothel laws in the USA that don't have anything to do with whether or not there are sorority houses.

I mean...did that cover it?

As far as the zoning thing...10 years of reviewing a few thousand appraisals where knowing what the zoning was very much a critical part of my job with different property types in the majority of the states in the continential USA, that definately qualifies me to know what is typical vs atypical and a fraternity house is just like any other COMMERCIAL or RESIDENTIAL property...there is no special catagory for these types of property. There is no such thing as "fraternity" or "sorority" zoning, building code, or anything else.

Zoning is local in nature..."local" means 'city' or 'town' it doesn't mean 'state'

If you want to look up the history of zoning, I would highly suggest starting in New York City where it all began in the garment district.

I would explain it to you further...but I don't think you would "get it".
