residency requirements for municipal jobs
I have noticed that some municipalities (all in the northeast) have residency requirements for planning positions. By this I mean that you need to have an in-city address for your application to be considered. Since this is a phenomenon I have only noticed in the northeast, I wonder if it is a relic of patronage politics. I can't explain it otherwise, because it would seem to me that in order to attract the best candidates you'd want to deepen your talent pool. And couldn't an outside perspective be a good thing? Any thoughts?
