The moratorium was wrong. If the government wanted to keep people in houses it should have paid their rents

- asah 4y agototally agree. But sigh, policymakers aren't dummies, and there's gotta be a reason they chose moratorium... my guess is that rental agreements are private contracts not directly reported to the government and therefore impossible to support. There's better reporting on your local coffee shop than your average rental. IMHO this lack of direct reporting is insane given the $ involved but I'm also not sure how you fix this... let alone in the couple of weeks that the govt had in 2020...
- kurupt213 4y agoSo the program has rules and requires an application…where the government gets the payment address. But expecting private property owners to eat it is absurd
- fuzzfactor 4y ago>there's gotta be a reason they chose moratorium... There was no way this was going to be allowed to happen during the worst of covid.
- selimthegrim 4y agoOne can always record their rental agreement with the county recorder or registrar of deeds.
- zbrozek 4y agoIt should zone for more housing so that supply can chase demand and push down prices.
