Another county government is considering rules to limit the number of people who may live in one dwelling. Forsyth County Commission members on Tuesday were given a draft of an occupancy ordinance that is similar to a new Cobb County law. It bases the number of people who may live in a house on its square footage. Critics say it unfairly targets Forsyth County’s growing Latino community. The proposal is one of several across the nation that cities and counties are considering, in the midst of immigration debate.
