    Like I said, there’s plenty of variations on this theme across different cities. No matter if the original comment was correct in every detail or not, the general principle was correct.

      so you assert, but I’m not actually finding a lot to support the thesis.

      a few cities, or parts of cities, have some form of restriction, but it appears that most do not and even the cities that do, do not have a universal ban themselves.

      I suspect Madison has this restriction on residences primarily nearby the Uni to prevent kids from crowding in over-occupancy to be honest.
