The S.C. has upheld such ordinances in the past. There was a MO appelate case from Ladue, also in St. Louis County, MO in the 80's that upheld that municipality's similar ordinance enforcement against former one term Congresswoman Joan Kelly Horn (D)and her boyfriend and their children.
Cordially,
I'm just amazed that this sort of ordinance can not only exist, but be upheld. I can understand rental regulations, and ordinances regarding the buildings habitability, but one that keeps people from living in their own homes is ridiculous to me
