The PSLF program has been a shitshow, it can be good, but it's still not a big enough difference $$$ wise for many.

$$$ is just one issue too, generally, these are not fun cases for lawyers to deal with. Many clients aren't the exploited underclass, and many times the Landlord is simply in the right.

That's not true, the attorneys working for legal aid will probably make 60-70k a year starting, quickly pop up to 100k maybe, then slowly build to 140ish? That may seem like big money to those in need, but with 300k+ in loans for some, it isn't feasible. Attorney's at big firms that work for large corporations make 215k to start and make 400k+ after a few years, then seven figures as an equity partner. That is a hard path though.

You can't give everyone a right to something then not find it.
