I enjoyed this article. The fact that the taxpayers both want her evicted and paid her back rent. The fact that she could not make it to her court appearance on time. The fact that three months of back rent (subsidized, obviously) was only $475 including penalties, but she still could not pay it. Obviously, poor people need a lot of help.

But not as much help as subsidized corporations ....

Interesting! Aaron Matusick was the lawyer that was apparently in a fist fight (a slapping fight, really) with another eviction lawyer down at the same courtroom!

"She doesn’t have hard numbers to back this claim"

Tenant advocates never have hard numbers to back up their claims, because actual evidence-based policy would be the opposite of everything they consistently push.

Margot Black: "The system is set up to fail." How so? People sign rental agreements and promise to pay. if they don't, there's a remediation process. Same for everyone. People fall on hard times, absolutely. People need help sometimes. Yes. But the "system" is absolutely more helpful to tenants than it is to landlords. The System is heavily weighted for tenant protections.

Regarding this tenant, Sandra Brown...She says her landlord didnt "accept her last two rent checks" (that seems far fetched but OK) yet she doesn't have the money to pay for it now? That too is dubious. I'm sympathetic to people who are on hard times but this band aid does nothing to fix anything in the long run.
