    Why do these organizations always hold meetings during work hours? Why not try doing it after hours or on the weekend? It makes no sense!

    Local government efforts such as this won't work anymore. These sort of "landlords" won't come forward if not forced to.

    Stop thinking of whom the city is tring to sign up as "landlords". Landlords are already in the legal system as owners of three or more rental unit apartment buildings.

    Today's real estate 'investors' who own one- and two-family houses escape the legal definition of landlords and are satisfied functioning within the present and deliberate form of rapidly widespreading 'houseownership' where the houseowners rake in dough in glorious, lowly-responsible anonymity!

    What Buffalo and other cities and outside areas need to do is establish the difference between homeowners who are people who actually live in the home they own vs 'HOUSEOWNERS' who live and care elsewhere.

    A HOUSE is only a house-for-rent. A HOME is where the heart (of a family) resides!!!

    HOUSEOWNERS here. Houseowners there. Unfindable houseowners; they're spreading EVERYWHERE!!!
