Debunking the "Brothel Law" Myth

[sarahsmilehawk]

Is there a graceful way to tell someone they're full of malarkey when they try to inform me of their city's surprisingly common brothel law? I swear I must hear it once a week.

At a province recruitment work shop, a girl in the newest chapter told our adviser and god and everyone that Marysville (or wherever her school was) had a law that said more than five women living together was a brothel and that's why they couldn't have a house. AND NO ONE CORRECTED HER.

GC is turning me into the most bizarre kind of snob: a GLO fact elitist.

Direct her to Snopes.com and kindly tell her that brothel laws simply do not exist. If they still don't believe you, ask them to see documentation.

Here's a link to the city's zoning law (took me about 5 minutes to find).

I couldn't find any mention in my quick scanning on the 105 pages but I could very well have missed something.
