From the Welcome:
> A crap link is one that's only superficially interesting. Stories on HN don't have to be about hacking, because good hackers aren't only interested in hacking, but they do have to be deeply interesting.
> What does "deeply interesting" mean? It means stuff that teaches you about the world. A story about a robbery, for example, would probably not be deeply interesting. But if this robbery was a sign of some bigger, underlying trend, perhaps it could be.
I think this story is a sign of a bigger thing that isn't getting much notice, and which has some pretty big implications.
- skyyler 4y agoWhat is this bigger thing, in your eyes? What are the implications? I'm deeply interested in what horrors lurk beneath the surface of an LA eviction moratorium.
- nonameiguess 4y agoWhat bigger thing could it be a sign of? Apparently, from this legal site compilation, Los Angeles and DC are the only places left that still have an eviction moratorium: https://www.lawdistrict.com/articles/eviction-moratoriums-by-state https://www.lawdistrict.com/articles/eviction-moratoriums-by.... This doesn't appear to be any kind of trend, just the last hold-out in the otherwise widespread return to normal, non-pandemic rental laws. Do you think it's a sign of something big specifically happening in Los Angeles?
