Wow, if anything the headline downplays how wild this is. I assumed it was talking about general market forces fucking up housing, but there are specific properties required by law to be low income housing that were just blatantly converted to hotels with zero enforcement. And the response from the officials who are supposed to be enforcing it is just ‘oh we need to do better, we’re trying!’ Sickening.
The second they crack down on me I will cancel and set up a PLEX server and just download anything I need. Not that I use it much anyways YouTube is my primary source of video content.
My Netflix is bundled with my phone plan. A family phone plan with households in 2 states. I effectively lost my Netflix access. I’m in the process of setting up a plex type server.
They're claiming a staffing and funding hurdle to get the existing laws enforced. If the department has been starved for funds to the point where it can't do its job, who made that decision, and more importantly, who donated to their political campaign?
This reeks of backdoor politics on the part of the landlords. De-funding an enforcement agency when a law holds up in court is a tried and true form of regulatory capture.
So your solution is to steal another persons property and then make them buy it back? Exactly how would you get that through the courts? Let’s ignore the words landlord and land, and let’s go with vehicle and owner , think the courts would agree with stealing the vehicle?
If I was selling drugs out of a low income house that I owned, the state can and would seize the property. If a property is used in the commission of a crime, the government can seize it
