\nNews Channel 5 reports Murfreesboro Vice Mayor Chris Bratcher saying: “We want to make sure, as a city, that we maintain the integrity of a neighborhood and property values for our residences.”<\/p>\n
“If you allow these things to take place in a neighborhood, we found that history tells us soon after we let a neighborhood start to decline it actually increases the crime in the neighborhood.”<\/p>\n
However not all residents agree. Matthew Bailey, a MTSU student told the channel: “This town is built on college students. And college students barely have enough money to eat or drink, let alone get patio furniture.”<\/p>\n
The proposal was approved by the council on first reading but needs two more votes to become a law. The second vote is Thursday.<\/p>\n
If enforced, those in breach will be fined $50.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
