Redwing Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I wonder what their objections are to residents keeping chickens I guess the mad regulations keep someone in a job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouldercroft Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 (edited) The city's zoning appeal board on Tuesday denied a Roslindale resident's request to overrule regulations that prevent Bostonians from keeping chickens on their property. http://www.boston.com/yourtown/news/roslindale/2011/07/boston_denies_chicken-raising.html Edited July 12, 2011 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egglicious Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 That is so stupid. Seriously, that board should be ashamed. Boston is a beautiful city. Would be even more beautiful with chickens in it! One would think they would be more progressive than that. Ugh!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
