    But who the fuck else is he going to rent to during a fucking pandemic? I don’t get the hot to trot nature on evictions generally... yes, I understand that in gentrifying areas why they’d force people out the moment they can, but it’s better to have someone who is behind on rent that will probably get caught up in a year than no tenant for 6-12 months on average? Right?

      When your hatred for the poor is that strong, you prioritize wrecking their lives over making profit. See: Wasting millions of dollars criminalizing homelessness instead of funding public housing. (REAL housing, not loopholes for ghouls to build condos cheaply and sell them at imposible prices)

      maybe they look at it like cars. unoccupied it's like a car in a garage with the fluids removed covered in a tarp. occupied it's driving constantly putting on mileage? lol fuck that seems like the dehumanizing kind of think they might come up with down the road

      Because if you don't evict, you don't have power. Eviction is coercion and that's how they make their money.
