Many people capable of paying rent declined to do so during the moratorium. Now they’re being evicted, not because their income is too little to afford housing, but because they made a series of truly reckless financial decisions. Empathy is good, and perhaps we could use more of it, but dismissing someone as “heartless” for questioning the intent of some renters also strikes me as naive.
