Reply to comment by BringMeInfo in When Will this insanity stop? 25% annual rent increase on already overpriced closet! by [deleted]

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.
