By Helen McRoskey Santa Monica
I read (The Daily Press’) article about the city of Santa Monica’s proposal to prevent landlords from renting to smokers or allowing smoking in apartments (“Making SM smokeless a hot topic,” Feb. 26, page 1). If the city does that, then I hope it makes a law that landlords can’t rent to gang members or child molesters, because if a smoker can’t rent a Santa Monica apartment, then gang members and child molesters will have more rights than smokers.
