"no-fault eviction" is, quite literally, a made-up magical concept.
A landlord that chooses to not renew your lease is not "evicting" you. Both parties have fulfilled their contractual obligations.

OK. Sure, and how long does this go on? Do you really think that this is a feasible long term solution? If the social science and economic literature points to "Yes" then I'm all ears, but I don't think that this is the case.

This one was just painful to read. I mean....this is the exact OPPOSITE of what you want to do. The entire issue boils down to supply and demand, and their solution is to further reduce density and the supply of housing!?
