53. From the article, it doesn't sound like these residents are a problem save for the volleyball.

The cars are all crammed in the driveway, not lining the street. I've never understood why parking on the street is considered bringing down the neighborhood to begin with, but that's because I wasn't raised in suburbia.

Under Cobb's proposal, a house must have at least 390 square feet of "total building square footage" for each adult resident and for each car parked overnight. It also would limit the people living in a home to one family or two or fewer unrelated adults and their children and/or grandchildren. Family is defined as parents, children, grandparents, grandchildren, brothers and sisters.
...
Arzate said she lives with her husband and two children, her father, her brother, and her other brother and his wife and two children.

That's where they lose me. It may be because most of the "families" in the neighborhood where I was raised wouldn't fit their neat little definition and looked a lot more like Arzate's family.
