The Las Cruces sign ordinance was written so that the penalty for violation is incarceration in jail.

I struck up a deal w/ the owner who was incarcerated at Mens Central Jail Twin Towers Los Angeles, CA.

Some of the situations that cause property owners not to pay their taxes are death, unemployment, divorce, incarceration, etc., etc. 

They were "dumb" enough to incarcerate repeat offenders, but we're "smart" enough not to. 

(I got to read the police report).While incarcerated the wife took off, sold everything he owned & then scrapped his truck for parts. 

Crime rates have fallen with increased incarceration rates and the right to carry movement blooming.

Substantial Violation is defined by CRS 13-40-107.5 (3), which basically says that if actions of the tenant endanger the property, other tenants, neighbors, is a drug related felony, or is an offense that would result in incarceration of 180 days or more, or is a public nuisance as declared by the health department and occurs near or on the property, or on the common/parking areas of the property. 

She says, but you won't tell them that "tenant A" (the ex-boyfriend whose name is on the rental agreement) was recently incarcerated for pcs meth and pcs cocaine and is being deported will you?

haha.I feel like they made themselves easy targets (in the similar vein of not policing crime, not incarcerating prisoners, giving away boxes of hypodermic needles but not allowing straws, allowing rampant homelessness, etc.) with onerous laws against the little guy, but you appear to feel like they were unfairly victimized. 

It is an emotional transaction - these folks are going to be put out of their home - where are they going - what's their problem -unemployment - sickness - drug addition - death in family ----incarceration?
