Reply to comment by AceofJax89 in Where Are the Free Housing Attorneys NYC Promised to Tenants Facing Eviction? - Hell Gate by LittleWind_

Lots of people around me are whining that people shouldn’t be evicted 3 years after a pandemic - so they think folks should just be allowed to squat for free, fuck the landlords and all that. And now that the chicken are coming to roost they’re arguing that well lawyers should help the tenants for free I guess. Services of both landlords and lawyers should just be free apparently because some people’s “rights” come before yours.

Everything is free to the progressives. Someone else always picks up the tabs don't you know?

yeah you're right, man, people who literally cannot afford a lawyer should just be tossed to the wolves.

typical landlord, they want the benefit of a lawyer and they want the person they're suing not to have one.

These people haven’t paid rent for 3 years, anyone who claims they can’t afford a lawyer is bullshitting at this point. I wager they can afford one more than you or I can.

The person suing can pay for a lawyer just like the landlord.

Eventually, if you don't like you landlord you should move. The market is hard for everyone. You may have a right to housing, but you don't have the right to live In a pertucular house.
