Cancel Rent Movement

[onlinebiker]

Where do these ignorant fucks come from?


Gee - let's quit paying the rent, water, electric and garbage bill - and nobody can evict us! Hey - we want free premium cable too! It's our RIGHT!.




These twats been living in their parent's basement too long.....

I live on a fixed income. I have to replace my entire bathroom -shower, sink, flooring, plumbing - ect - because of shitty work my ex brother in law did years ago.... Nobody else is gonna pay for it... Nobody else is going to do the work.

Freeloaders want sympathy? Check the dictionary - it's in between "shit" and "syphilis".

As a limited, temporary measure, it’s probably not a horrible idea. Large parts of the Cancel Rent movement have also called for the establishment of a ‘landlord hardship trust’.

Cancelling rents, while making sure that owners of rental properties don’t wind up in default, is probably going to be less economically damaging than shattered credit ratings, food insecurity, and a massive increase in homelessness. And a lot of people are at risk of these through no fault of their own.

Edit: I looked up some stuff. The average. rent in the US is a little over $17 000/year. The average cost to taxpayers of caring for a single homeless person is more that double that, at about $40 000/year. So, under a rent cancellation scheme which includes reimbursing landlords for lost rent, a family of four (with rent forgiven for a year) would save taxpayers $143 000. Probably more, as people with a place live may not be as likely to resort to crime.

You wanna know where the Cancel Rent movement came from? Maybe from the economic ruin left by the current pandemic.

While I can’t be sure about the long-term feasibility of such a plan, bear in mind that we’re living in a pandemic, and because people don’t want it to spread like wildfire, people are staying home. Even as lockdowns are easing, they’re still staying at home. And often, this means they can’t go to their jobs. And many of these people were living paycheck to paycheck before it, and now that the paychecks aren’t coming in and many of their former jobs don’t even exist anymore, their position is even more unstable. I highly doubt there’s a really “good” option. We can either A) just force them to go back to work (if their job’s still there) and expose them to the deadly virus; B) keep business going for the renters as usual, ultimately creating mass evictions and a massive rise in homelessness; or C) temporarily suspend rent (and hopefully find ways to subsidize the owners to tide them over) so that these people at least have a roof over their heads.

I don’t know how viable a long-term abolition of rent would be and I’ll withhold my support for it until some municipality can demonstrate that it can be pulled off, but in the short term, it’s probably the best thing we can do.

Something for nothing.....

It's garbage.

Some of these cunts have been getting unemployment PLUS $600 a week. In many cases that is in excess of double what they made working.

And they can't make it on THAT?

As I understand it, the extra $600 is gone and regular unemployment payments in the US aren’t all that much. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Another edit: Yeah, unemployment compensation in the US generally suck. You live in Michigan (I think). The maximum unemployment benefit there is $362/week.

And that $362 is with dependents, and that’s done for a maximum of 20 weeks. And the 20-week mark from lockdown beginning in Michigan passed on August 8. And the average rent In Detroit is $1051, so, if you know some basic math, you can start to see the financial problem with relying on unemployment.

Looking shit up again.

The lowest rent among large cities in Michigan is Detroit. Average rent there is a little more than a thousand a month ($1064).

So..362 x 4 =1448. After rent, that leaves $384 for power, water, sewer, garbage, food, transportation (and petrol for the same), insurance, etc etc.

Seems doable, if these bums could shake their eating habit. Join a fucking 12 Step programme, whydonacha?

I did unemployment for an entire year - by myself - with no additional income. If memory serves it was about $250 a week. (Mid 1990's).

It was like an extended vacation. I had absolutely no problem making ends meet.

[The Grand Nudger]

People facing eviction probably don't feel like they're on extended vacations.

This is just OLB bullshit ideology on full display essentially everyone's  a conniving cheat who just wants to take advantage and no ones really hard done by . It's borderline social darwinian .
