They had to hand it straight back to greedy landlords in order not to be evicted
Sorted that headline for you, nae bother hen
City with an absurd income-to-rental-price spread: "We're giving you some money."
People getting the money: "This will go towards the enormous debts accrued to my landlords who keep cranking up the cost of housing."
Economists: surprised-pikachu-face. "We thought for sure they would spend it on video games and fentanyl."
"Housing addiction: the next drug war." - Republicans/Capitalists
Do not become addicted to Housing. It will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence.
An apartment is a gateway home.
That's why you spend more than a mortgage note on less space and you don't even accrue equity.
You mean Conservative TV Commenters Masquerading as Economists. Economists in academia and community driven projects have known this for a while. It's why stuff like this is even getting trials.
If you're not a talking head on a Daytime Network TV Show, how am I supposed to trust you?
You know you can trust me because I sell high quality health supplements. So you know I care about you.
Shows a bottle marked "Maggoty's Gainz", it's clearly just a relabeled bottle of Scotch.
'oh, they have more money now.. time for it to be my money'
that happened with me with the covid checks. soon as those came out, rent went up--and up. those quickly disappeared but the rent increases are forever.
YSK that landlords in the US actually collaborated with a software company to drive up rents during that period. The software company told each company exactly how many units to keep off the market to cause large increases in rent prices across the board.
In Utah landlords all have carte blanche to do as they wish, they are all legislatures so they have passed laws giving themselves exclusive authority.
There are no tenant rights or protection laws in Utah. Where I used to live, the landlords would come in and take furniture or valuables that they wanted, whenever they wanted. Tenants have no say in what happens. You can be evicted without cause or notice here for any reason.
Now they've strengthened the landlords' grips with more laws preventing tenants from having the right to sue or contact landlords at all. It's just a great place to live all around.
