Re: For the Military...BSL IS hitting us too....

We left Monterey, CA in 2006. Housing was privitized a year prior to us moving in. A year after we aquired our dog, a ban on Rottweilers, Pitt Bulls, and Pinschers was put in place. We were grandfathered in. I worked at the housing office at the time, and I told the Director (solely her decision to ban these breeds) that she needed to read the CA BSL before annoucing her decision. I also told her that her decision did not coincide with state law. I was livid. This is a long story, I will make it short. I explained to her that I had yet to see a pinscher since moving in, and that I was the only one at my housing site who owned a Rottweiler. And I knew for a fact that no one had any complaints about my dog. I discovered that she (the directer) just disliked these breeds for no apparent reason. I told her that she should ask the residents to consider spay/neuter & training before placing a ban. A Colonel moved in with his nine year old Rottweiler bitch and poof the ban was gone. The director was unable to keep that ban in place. Prior to leaving Monterey, I brought Diesel to my place of employment and he won the director heart (I knew her would) :))))
Nonetheless, oftentimes you can find a place out in town for less than BAH. But I know how nice it is to live amongst people you have a lot in common with.
