<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>After having glanced at the Moscow city code
definition of a boarding house, could you please explain how providing
accommodations to guests for a couple of weeks for compensation fails to
meet the afore mentioned definition? Just exactly where in the code does it
distinguish between a "resident guest" and a "resident tenant"? And
lastly, why would it be "inappropriate commentary" to discuss this type of
topic on Dale's personal blog and yet be just ducky for you to do
the same on your own web site, to which you thoughtfully provided a link, not to
mention here on the V?</FONT></DIV>

[Quote by Keely Emerine-Mix] "My friend, Young-mi Jin, is an English
teacher<BR>> in South Korea who got her master's at UI in 2005. She is
bringing a group<BR>> of Korean students to Moscow in December and January to
study and is looking<BR>> for homes for the kids (and her) to stay in for
that time. She's asked me to<BR>> forward her email address [deleted] to all
of you, and if you're interested<BR>> in hosting for a few weeks, with
compensation, please email her."<BR>> <BR>> My, my. I sure hope that keely
isn't looking for Venom2020 members to<BR>> illegally board those kids. And
to be compensated for it. Gasp!<BR>> <BR>> Horrors! Think of it! Offering
hospitality and being told that it's illegal.<BR>> <BR>> I'm sure that
everyone she recommends will have their conditional use<BR>> permits thru the
City, approved and paid for - just like every other<BR>> international
student's host family in Moscow has.<BR>> <BR>> Published Friday, November

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha<BR>> <BR>> Now this is a really funny
situation. I am sure that Not On The Palouse<BR>> will immediately cite
the proper city rules as to why Keely's request is<BR>> A-OK. What a
laugh. Perhaps these students will rent several of the vacant<BR>>
apartments here in town instead of boarding with families. That would
help<BR>> the booming Moscow economy some wouldn't it?<BR>> <BR>>

-------------------------------------------------------------<BR>> <BR>> I
could go into detail explaining the differences between a "resident's<BR>>
guest" and a "resident tenant" having had guests at my abode, but then I<BR>>
would have to re-repost the Moscow City Zoning Code as it pertains to<BR>>
boarding houses (and the city's definition of "Boarding Houses") and
further<BR>> explain it in terms understandable to the infants at our local
sandbox<BR>> (pronounced "Anselm Clubhouse"). That is simply not
necessary and what<BR>> Comb-Over has posted to his BLog is purely
inappropriate.<BR>> <BR>> To put it simply, there is considerable
difference between providing<BR>> quarters to a friend for a couple weeks and
collecting rent from several<BR>> tenants for several years as reflected

quantity of the proper genetalia,<BR>> he can file a complaint with the
city. Otherwise, I suggest that he cease<BR>> making such inappropriate
commentary and restrict such behavior to the<BR>> aforementioned
sandbox.<BR>> <BR>> Tom Hansen<BR>> Moscow, Idaho <BR>>
