It’s been 2 and a half years and major cities still have these moratoriums? I just have this feeling that these will never end, the people who put them in place don’t believe in private property. This is outrageous, hardworking landlords are getting crushed.
I found this story to be wildly infuriating. In LA a foster parent that purchased half a duplex for her growing family has waited TWO YEARS to move in because she says the city eviction moratorium is allowing the prior tenants to live rent free WITHOUT A COVID HARDSHIP. The tenant living in her house without paying rent drives a Dolorian, rents Yachts, and takes hot air balloon trips. What a backwards world.
Yes, for one Los Angeles extended their eviction moratorium through at least July 2023.
In other words at least for 3 1/2 years after COVID started.
The problem will get so bad that they will either have to evict a large percentage of the population or make this permanent which I believe is unconstitutional.
If you can’t evict a tenant for non-payment of rent, the end result will be a decrease in available units to rent, disinvestment in upkeep leading to blight and slums, and higher rents leading to even more housing unaffordability. It only makes the housing crisis worse. But I don’t expect Democrats to be able to connect the dots.

It means landlords have to price in risk, even more so that before. That includes requiring the maximum deposits and upfront rent as possible under the law, as well as jacking up the rent to compensate. Only large landlords with many units can make this work, by spreading risk out among many "good" tenants. The mom-and-pop 1 or 2 unit landlord is screwed if they get just one non-rent payer they can't get rid of. Would not be surprised to find that California politicians are either large landlords themselves, or invested in REITS that will potentially win by snapping up properties from small landlords.

your tweet speaks to LA. I wouldn't be surprised to find all of CA has a moratorium still.
I think he made his point. Just having this still going on in one city in the United States is grotesque enough. We really are in decline as a nation.
It'd burn my property to the ground and take the insurance money if I was in these cities. Screw democrats and their perpetual welfare state. Burn their cities down.
In all seriousness, the line between being compassionate and helping others has to have limits. How many people can we possibly keep on government assistance where they don't have to work to survive?
We have a problem where nobody wants to work and yet we need people to build more things in order to make them less expensive it's called economies of scale. This is going to be a continuing problem going forward especially with all the money they are Printing and will continue to print despite their assurances they plan to tighten. You can't print your way to Prosperity when you don't have the available supply.
We also have lower birth rates and more people government dependent than ever before combined with wealthy people buying up much of the real estate and renting it out all of this is like a perfect storm that is going to cause a big generational problem if we don't do something to stop it.
First off it is not only cities doing this. I am in a very red area and well into the country. We have the same issues as any big city. As a church elder I am one of the ones responsible into looking into whether someone requesting assistance actually needs it or are they a regular player. We rely on an agency (non govt) that helps in utility, rent and other assorted bills. The numbers suffering and losing ground economically is staggering at times and things will not get better any time soon. The ones living in someone else's home are of course another story but many folks out here are truly in need. I also know those areas that use companies to help evict are short on staff so this does not help and the law enforcement agencies that have deputies helping on these are short staffed as well. Numerous reasons this is still happening and I doubt it is as easy as just blaming it on liberal policies.
