1 in 5 US Renters Risk Eviction by 9/30/2020

[Crixus]

How does this work for an October Surprise?

20 Million Renters Are at Risk of Eviction; Policymakers Must Act Now to Mitigate Widespread Hardship - The Aspen Institute

"Mass evictions would be a disaster.

"For both individuals and families, evictions result in severe harm; when they become widespread, there are also significant consequences for entire communities and even the speed of economic recovery.

"Policymakers are actively seeking solutions, but it is difficult to prepare without knowing the size of the problem.

"The COVID-19 Eviction Defense Project (CEDP) was formed to solve that problem.

"It is a coalition of economic researchers and legal experts who developed a model to estimate eviction risk nationally and at the state level.

"The disturbing result: 19 to 23 million, or one in five of the 110 million Americans who live in renter households, are at risk of eviction by September 30, 2020."

I've noticed an uptick in the number of tents on the sidewalks around my neighborhood for years, but so far, only single adults live in them; what happens when children, and their middle-class (white) parents who have never experienced homelessness before, begin living on the streets?

So, if these are able bodies living in tents they can go get a job. Most places have charities that will buy a homeless person a bus ticket. If it were me, I would get that ticket and it would go where work is like McAllen Texas and make $15.00 an hour building Trump's wall. Agree or not, it's paying money, they need people bad, and the work is long term. That's just one example. In this country there is always an opportunity to make money legally. It's a different story for them that may have mental health issues. In that case what can you do other then run them off?

'no definitions have been posted'....at least we have captured and important topic linked to eviction: post #344 'the knew all about surplus value, which others did not understand.' Someone should post what they think is the definition of surplus value, surplus labor, etc.

No definition in post #344.

But no one ever does........

'So, if these are able bodies living in tents'....though able bodies living in tents may be retired and mentally stable: we deliberately self-evicted due to the landlord's dangerous new policy of allowing strangers into communist-style shared kitchens and bathrooms. These organisms were not paying rent, irresponsible about clean-up, but were fronting as 'friends' of paying tenants, and may just as well have come from the Milwaukee Hot Zone.

In fact, we strongly suggest the Teton Vista 1 quick tent. Especially excellent for desert camping, lightweight and fast, for urban guerrilla operations.

Instead of Hoovervilles, we can have Trumpvilles.

 

[badger2]

'no definition in post #344' but there is knowledge of the importance of these concepts in #344. Experimental, tentative definitions could be posted by all participants to this thread, then wait until the tanks arrive. It is possible.

As asked in this thread, "What is the value at the point of exchange?" The deterritorialization of evictions link to the deterritorialization of values:

29 Jul 2020 (precise URL lost) Trump Dog Whistle
'....People have gone to the suburbs, they want the beautiful homes, they don't have to have a low-income housing development built in their community, which is going to reduce, which has reduced the prices of the homes, and also increased crime substantially.'

"Like Nothing We’ve Ever Seen": Imminent Eviction Wave Is Coming To These States

"'It’s like nothing we’ve ever seen,' said John Pollock, coordinator of the National Coalition for a Civil Right to Counsel.

"In 2016, there were 2.3 million evictions, Pollock said.

"'There could be that many evictions in August,' he said..."

"With a fiscal cliff unfolding, benefits set to run out, and a rebound in the economy reversing, Household Pulse Data from mid-July outlines an even gloomier rent crisis unfolding.

"The analysis is based on Household Pulse Data from mid-July and it found that some states will be hit harder than others.

"For example, West Virginia is estimated to have the highest share of renter households facing eviction at close to 60%.

"Tennessee, Minnesota, Mississippi, Florida and Louisiana are all among the states set to be worst impacted with shares at 50% or higher.

"Elsewhere, Vermont is the state where renters will be at the lowest risk of eviction, though 22% of them will potentially lose their homes over the course of the crisis. - Forbes"

CAPITALISM FAILS ONCE AGAIN!

It's weird, right?

Don't pay your rent and you get evicted?

Who ever heard of such a thing?

CAPITALISM FAILS ONCE AGAIN!

And yet, still kicks Marxism's ass every single time.

 

[georgephillip]

t's not leadership. Trump does not have the authority to force everyone to close their businesses, or wear masks, or lock down the country.

It is all about leadership.
Something Trump was born without.
Luckily, he had a rich daddy.

Both South Korea and the US saw their first case of Covid-19 on the same day.

SK has seen 250 deaths while the richest nation in history has seen 150,000 AND COUNTING.

The difference is entirely due to morons electing a self-proclaimed "very stable genius" to the highest office in the land.

Look on the bright side, most of Trump's biggest mistakes are yet to be revealed.

Protection from eviction?

Tell me more!!!

Post #13 mentions 30%, but offers no citation for the source of the claim, adding a (time-frame [italics]) as well. We have already mentioned "one week's wages for one month's rent" in this thread.

Here's the closest I can find so far:

"One in five of the 110 million Americans who live in renter households are at risk of eviction by the end of September."

 

[georgephillip]

Has it been 120 million Americans like the Groping Joe said you Fake Newser?

152K as of Wednesday 7/29/30.
Tell Trump it's time to drink more bleach.

No, Trump does have dictator powers.

You complain and bitch and moan, that Trump is a dictator, and then spin right around and complain that he DID NOT impose some draconian dictations from Washington DC on the country.

You can't have it both ways, stupid. You can't complain he didn't lock people in their own homes using the US military... and at the same time whine like a toddler, that he's a dictator.

Sorry... you can't have it both ways. That makes you a dumb hypocrite.

Has nothing to do with leadership, it has to do with the President is not magically a "god-emporer".

And you are extremely hypocritical.

 

[georgephillip]

rump was the only one to do anything

You say that like it's a good thing

Trump struggles to explain why he disbanded his global health team

"It was two years ago when Trump ordered the shutdown of the White House National Security Council's entire global health security unit.

"NBC News had a good report on this recently, noting that the president's decision 'to downsize the White House national security staff -- and eliminate jobs addressing global pandemics -- is likely to hamper the U.S. government's response to the coronavirus.'"

Every city, town, etc should make a good sized section where people could live in tents and go to work. The wages many renters make housing and food waaaaaay unaffordable. This would help the situation. Less people renting and less people buying houses. Everyone involved wins.

So what?

Did you bother reading the link?

Citigroup Has Been Paying Out More than It Earned for Years; Now It Has $102.5 Billion in Debt Maturing within Three Years

"If Citigroup has been paying out more in dividends and stock buybacks than it earned, clearly it has had to take on equivalent amounts of debt to do that.

"But when was the last time you read a headline about that in mainstream media – which receives all that Citigroup advertising dough?"

Clearly. So what?

If that worries you, you shouldn't hold any of their stock or debt.
