Abstract:
In this article the author is discussing the push for lifting the ban on the construction of accessory dwelling units, backyard cottages, in Raleigh. Residents of Raleigh are lobbying to lift the ban on accessory dwelling units so that they can rent their houses out, more affordable housing, having elderly family members live close by, college housing, and places where additional family members can live. City officials and other residents argue that it can cause the neighborhoods to become crowded, increased light pollution, rowdy residents, and that the ADU’s might not match the surrounding homes.

Abstract:
In this article the author is discussing how elderly in nursing homes do not have the voice to speak up for themselves and this job was taken over by the government. The author states that this voice has been getting weaker over the years. How the government helped elders in nursing home was through Medicare and Medicaid setting strict regulations on how these nursing homes ran. Medicare and Medicaid are responsible with fining these nursing homes that put their residents in harmful and dangerous conditions for extended periods of time. Bill lamb states that these big nursing home corporations view fines and the consequences of doing business instead of looking at them as reasons to correct their mistakes. The Trump administration at the time put an 18-month moratorium to allow provides to gain education on what is expected out of health a safety practices for the residents in the nursing homes. This was in contrast to the Obama administration policy of giving out heavier fines for long-term resident facilities that broke health and safety policies. Issues stated against the Trump Administration policy was that providers are spending more time trying to comply with the policies rather than spending time caring for the residents. Others state that even though the penalties are minor to the long-term resident corporations, they are at least public. This can help people looking for the right resident facility choose wisely because these penalties can be found online at nursinghomecompare.gov.
