Homes with suites need to pay their fair share

Dear Editor: I recently received a flyer advertising two new homes. These homes replace a perfectly good duplex that was torn down. What sticks in my craw is this: Each of these houses is advertised as having not one but two suites.

Dear Editor:

I recently received a flyer advertising two new homes. These homes replace a perfectly good duplex that was torn down.

What sticks in my craw is this: Each of these houses is advertised as having not one but two suites.

Not only will this create a parking problem, but the owners of these dwellings will pay the same single-family rates as I do for water, sewer, garbage and other city services.

They will also receive income that I'm pretty certain will never be declared.

I don't care if they build a hotel, as long as they carry their own weight.
