However, the pedantic smarties out there have something to say about it.

Academics pointed out that the sentence is grammatically incorrect, and literally translates to "room in the house" and "local people."

Some pointed out that this is exactly what comes out of Google Translate.

Suspicious, isn't it? It looks that the vandals were not as educated as we first thought.

Another professor, Dr Charles Weiss, translated the slogan as "a place for homes equals places for people", but added that it might be 'pidgin Latin'.

("Romanes eunt domus"anyone?)

An online teachers' forum, TES, also debated the slogan.

This commenter said: "Not only are the case endings all wrong, but 'locus' is the nominative singular of a noun meaning place and 'loci' is its genitive singular or nominative plural, not an adjective meaning 'local'."
