the land is worth more in value, especially if one is committed to loose accounting practices, without much oversight. They don't care about the houses, just the future sales price on the land.
landlords nationwide were already filing eviction notices — illegally, if anyone's counting — in advance of the expiration, so they could throw tenants out 30 days after the moratorium ended.So... landlords want to throw out tenants who can't pay because they think there are so many other potentially paying tenants out there waiting to take their place? That doesn't seem like a wise business strategy.
The hellish thing is that none of this had to happen. A rent assistance package could have kept people housed. It would certainly be better for landlords than mass evictions will be, because the pool of renters is going to be poorer for some time now. Then again, it would have been seen as a giveaway to poor people, and America can't have that.
what I don't understand is wouldn't landlords benefit more from temporarily working with tenants and figuring out even a reduced rent they can afford while the renters are unemployed than trying to fill dozens of units during a pandemic and economic crisis?
And if the Republicans wanted states to work out some formula for unemployment benefits it could have asked for that 3 months ago, and thought about preventing a freaking disaster within a disaster.
Who do these eviction happy landlords and mortgage lenders think will be able to fill or buy these apartments and homes? Hummm, maybe slum lords and real estate developers?
Reminds me of that old NatLampoon cover with the guy holding a gun to his dog's head, "Buy the magazine, or the dog gets it!" Doesn't work, doesn't do anybody any good.
This was my reality for four or five years. Sleepless nights worrying about paying rent and bills; you Wonketteers helped me keep my roof. I have tremendous empathy for all those finding themselves in dire straits, unlike the Rs in the Senate.
Do you mean "democratize"?

Think 2007.
Only now with a raging pandemic on top of the economic version of Ground Zero Alderaan.
"there was no dictator position in the country" Ah, those were good times
It's all about the next person coming in.
Whether long-term renter or AirBNBer.
Even in 2007, they made some effort to shore up the economy. Now it seems like they want to burn it all down and loot the ashes.

This, gut-churningly, says it all.
