#1 Federal occupancy standards must be established for single family dwellings. Everyone knows shelter from the elements is a basic human right.

#2 The combination of rising inflation, the end of most eviction moratoriums and rent subsidy payments, and an extremely low vacancy rate has pushed rents up — and many tenants are leaving.

Inflation, moratoriums and subsidies - three factors created by government. Screw with the market and then feign surprise at the consequences.

#3 I also blame basic greed by many landlords (not all, just many)

#6 Census Bureau: 3.8 million renters likely to be evicted in next two months

Hmmm. What happens in a bit over two months that this 'crisis' can be used to collect more supporters for?

#7 Supply and demand. Gotta make room for the 5 million illegal aliens imported in the past 18 months.

#8 Yeah, but who's going to pay rent for those illegal aliens. Oh, that's right. We will.

#9 The unspoken aspect of this is tha tthe debt for past dues rent will remain once the moratorium is removed. So in addition to eviction, the rent constitutes a personal debt, inducing 4 million bankruptcy filings unless the Democrats create a way to erase that debt as well. Think about the rough numbers, 4 million times 2000/month times 24 months = $192 billion potentially, and perhaps twice that or more overall.

#10 That will make it interesting for the folks trying to make the US a nation of renters rather than homeowners.

#11 #9, the landlords are affected too. Unlike the universities, which should be - but are not - getting claw back pressure over the debt cancelations.
