They won't. Landlords don't actually like evictions because they take a long time and come with the risk of the tenant destroying the property on the way out. They use it as a threat and generally prefer to do "cash for keys", or just intimidate people into leaving voluntarily.
They will probably cover it through the eyes of suburban PMC's who are worried about the new nearby favelas are damaging their property values and bringing crime and drugs to their neighborhood.
Right now we don't have favelas simply because we don't afford the poor even that luxury. I wonder if that will change in the next few weeks. Holy Christ.
Just thinking about the Toronto encampment crackdowns. The one in Trinity bellwoods resulted in bulldozing of the tents and personal property of the campers, and the bulldozing of a publicly funded community garden "just in case" there was more property hiding there.
There were 26 arrests at the last one, mainly of heroes defending the encampments. Lots of injuries too.
Toronto sucks, but I would bet the US cities would go to a lot larger lengths to ensure that favelas and encampments are broken and destroyed.
Kkkanada doesn't allow them either, while many countries with larger underclasses know how disastrous to the ruling class it would be to simply bulldoze the slums. That violence would be reciprocated.
They won't cover it up immediately, but they might be able to make people forget about it by 2024, or at least convince people that it's just normal and not Biden's fault.
There'll be about 400 scandals on both sides before then to distract people too.
Yeah I agree, they would probably just give it the bare minimum amount of coverage possible. Unless it leads to mass protests of some kind, then it might force the news to actually give it more attention.
It'll depend on how many it happens to at once I think as well. If it's a slow trickle of people being pushed through months long eviction procedures there might be enough buffer time there to prevent any serious rioting from the affected.
It's just going to kick the can a bit though, the systems we have in place with credit and renters history prevent you from basically ever renting or owning again once evicted or foreclosed on so it's possible it'll be quite a big deal in the coming months or years.
That latter part is one of the pieces of the puzzle that the out of touch don't think about, as it's a consequence of systems in place instead of outright written as law, so it might literally be they aren't seeing that possibility.
The flip side of this is that landlords need tenants, or they don't get any "passive income". What's more likely is that we go back to some combo of tenement style homes and extra fees and deposits for people who have eviction records or are "subprime" renters.
Of course it could be worse. In the Soviet Union, families frequently lived in dorms and had to share kitchens and even a bathroom!
Lol if 6 million people actually end up homeless overnight and the news is able to cover that up I'd be thoroughly impressed

They should be so lucky that I grace their stuffy suburb

On the one hand someone else might be homeless, but on the other hand, I can imagine sharing a bathroom and that's icky!
Hopefully the road runs out soon. But yeah all good points and things I didn’t consider in my first post
