I said I'd like to see hard evidence. When one intends to make a financial proposal at a company, they should expect to furnish evidence that the expenditure would provide some kind of return and that there is a factual basis for the need of whatever it is the money is being spent on.

- nverno 5y agoThere must be some data, or at least people knowledgeable about, how often eviction actually leads to homelessness, and how corona has spread amongst homeless. For instance, I was evicted once, but I didn't end up homeless on the street. I would guess this is pretty common for evictions- people have to move someplace cheaper or back in with friends or family temporarily. I think some suffering alleviated now is likely just being postponed in another form (common among social welfare programs imo). The moratorium isn't sustainable in the long run and will discourage people from renting/maintaining property leading to less housing eventually.
