Best way to increase housing stock is processing eviction backlog quickly. That will open up more apartments to the market. In addition to building additional housing of course as longer term fix.

That doesn't increase housing stock; it just redistributes it.

Is it fair to redistribute to people who are paying instead of not paying?

I’m not talking about fairness or justice (and am not really interested in this conversation spiraling out into new topics). Evictions incontrovertibly does not increase housing stock.

Your answer is short sighted. It’s like saying smoking one cigarette wont cause cancer, and it’s technically correct. In the long run, the policy of allowing people who dont pay their rent to stay guarantees no one will build new housing for low income families.

So, by "processing eviction backlog quickly" is a euphemism for kicking out people overpriced out of apartments they used to be able to afford so more gentrification can happen?

Ok and? Are you saying people who don't pay rent should get priority to live in the most expensive city in the world over people who can?

I can't afford to live some places. I acknowledge that and live where I can afford.

No, it's means kicking people out who haven't paid their rent. Renting doesn't guarantee you get to live there forever.

in your opinion, how long should deadbeats get to live rent-free before being kicked out? Because we’re at three years and counting.
