\t\t\t\tRecently, the Stapleton MCA passed a controversial policy in regards to screening potential buyers before they would be allowed to move into Stapleton. \u201cI call it extreme vetting<\/a>,\u201d said MCA President Paul Harris. \u201cExtreme vetting. Extreme. Stapleton has almost no problems being caused by anyone coming in here. But, it\u2019s better to be safe than sorry.\u201d Harris has said the new vetting process is in its infant stages, but they do have the beginnings of the general requirements. \u201cObviously, you either have to have kids, or plan to have kids,\u201d said Harris. \u201cDog ownership is also a plus.\u201d Harris refused to go into more specifics, but an unidentified source within the MCA spoke with The Stapletonion and mentioned several other of the screening processes being considered. \u201cOn the extreme vetting sheet we received, there are definitely some troubling items,\u201d said the anonymous source. \u201cOne of the items concerns how hot the mom, or soon to be mom is. It is encouraged that they be at least a seven on a scale of ten. They even have photo examples of what a seven would be as a reference.\u201d\nThere is also an item regarding wealth. \u201cThey want to know what kind of car they drive, and what year,\u201d said the source. \u201cIt lists preferences such as BMW\u2019s, Volvo, Audi, and so on. But, there are also acceptable things such as newer Toyota 4 Runners, Subaru Outbacks, and whatnot.\u201d Possibly most disturbing in regards to the extreme vetting list is the screening on race. \u201cIt does ask for ethnic background,\u201d says the source. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t say that it won\u2019t take other races, but it says behind the question in parenthesis \u2018white is strongly preferred.\u2019\u201d The MCA says the vetting process will go through a four month trial run to see if it is effective and to see if any changes or additions need to be made. \u201cNothing is perfect the first time through,\u201d said President Harris. \u201cThere most certainly will be some things we missed, and we will reassess that after the trial period.\u201d\nAt this point, the community does not seem to be behind the new process. \u201cI think it’s pretty disgusting,\u201d said resident Nikki Adkins. \u201cSo, if someone wants to buy a home in Stapleton and can, they are putting them through an extra process on top of that? That\u2019s embarrassing.\u201d Resident Kyle Jackson agrees and feels adding the screening process is unnecessary. \u201cDon\u2019t the prices of the homes in Stapleton dictate most of these criteria already?\u201d asked Jackson. \u201cThe market has already spoken, and that is who it says can live here. Don\u2019t think we need a checklist for that.\u201d The MCA says that a small panel including President Harris will review the applications and move them along if the candidates meet the requirements. \u201cWe want people to be able to enjoy Stapleton,\u201d said Harris. \u201cProvided they meet our guidelines.\u201d The guidelines may seem a little strict at first; however, it is termed \u2018extreme vetting.\u2019\nEditor’s Note:\u00a0 The MCA referenced in the above article is completely fictitious, and in no way reflects the values of the actual Stapleton MCA.\u00a0 <\/em>]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
