Not that anyone should be homeless, but this is very funny

    you know this is a rare phenomenon because it was reported on

    but we are supposed to believe that the wonderful landlord shouldn't go homeless while renters should

    this deadbeat landlord should pull themselves up by their bootstraps and get a real job

      This is exactly why the news is the worst way to figure out what’s happening in the world. If it weren’t unusual, it wouldn’t be news.

    Not that anyone should be homeless

    If someone chooses to uphold a system of social darwinism and it turns out they're not the fittest, they're the only victim that deserves it. Hopefully their choice to suffer serves as an example of the system's barbarism to others.

      Yet, they inherently don't deserve to be homeless. That doesn't change the fact that he suffered the consequences from the dumb system and that is hilarious.

        I mean I see housing as an inherent human right. They first sought to hold that right hostage for a third if not half of their tenant's income. They then tried to deprive that tenant of that right during a pandemic in winter. These are the moral boundaries they chose to create and if that's how they view housing then I'm pikachu.jpg at the result they tried to force onto their tenant first. Homelessness exists because private property exists and private property exists because landlords violently enforce it to maintain power. Well, lmao where's your power now kulak.

    So....where were they staying? Like, they were unable to make their own rent payment or something and were kicked out?

      My landlord uses my rent to pay the mortgage on the house I'm in and subsidize her $4000/month 1br in LA. So I can see how this would happen when the "supplemental income" from your rental no longer covers their rent. Also I'm on the east coast.

      This isn't an uncommon arrangement either and I'm convinced the next big housing crisis will be the collapse of this system of renting as supplemental income.
