Cars actually kill more people, so we should ban them too then

Yes, but less cost than buildings burning down. Some risks society doesn't let us take, and that's ok.

Looks like it's happened when they were first rolling them out in thier repair facility. I assume conditions are much better now: https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-citi-bike-e-bike-fire-20190326-kmvl5iwk3zbadovmwrlkydcyom-story.html

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.

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.

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.

Someone still has to pay those attorneys, currently the city pays much less than the landlords do. Law school ain't cheap. working with landlords is typically more pleasant, and it pays more for practicing the same area of law.
Just as prestige doesn't pay the rent, neither does virtue.

Under the common law, there is no general duty to rescue. We have no legal duty to risk ourselves to save others.
