I spent months getting to know a landlord & the tenant who owes her $30,000+ in back rent. Eviction moratoriums, while well-intentioned, put them both in a bad spot. My latest piece explains why we're looking at a possible housing crisis when they expire. https://t.co/57mjq6921x

@emilyabenfer @CarolSOtt The supply side in housing is not in business to provide housing welfare in a crisis. Eviction moratoriums cause an exodus of investors and lenders from low cost housing provision. Banks out of concern that borrowers will not be able to collect rent or reclaim their property.

@abbyvesoulis Eviction moratoriums extending well beyond the period over which there can be any expectation that the rent arrears will be collectible are not well intentioned. They are deliberately and ideologically targeted at making one set of people pay for the housing cost of others.

@abbyvesoulis Maybe the landlord should think about getting a job instead of relying on passive income.
