Debunking the "Brothel Law" Myth

[DrPhil]

I think the problem is some jurisdictions and media outlets are using "brothel law" and claiming that these laws have existed for decades. They need to stop using that phrasing and simply express that some jurisdictions do not want over a certain number of (unrelated?) people (male and female) living in one dwelling for whatever reasons.

I think that's exactly the problem, except I doubt many (if any) jurisdictions actually use that term. I think it's one of those phrases that found its way into popular usage and the media perpetuate it.
