Democrats pushing for extended eviction ban

[DaleCooper]

Why?

[DaleCooper]

But what of the noble shoplifter, the carjacker, and the burglar? When shall we legalize their crimes too? #TheftIsAHumanRight

Not theft.

How so?

This is a once in a lifetime pandemic, and many people have still not found adequate work. If this were normal times, there would be no need for the moratorium. It is a necessary policy to prevent a mass crisis of evictions.

I don't know what to say other than that you're living in the past, specifically March of 2020, if you think that people can't find work right now because of the pandemic. Everywhere is hiring.

I'm curious what the endgame is here. Do these Democrats just want a permanent eviction ban? If so, then how do we deal with nightmare tenants that deserve to get evicted?

[DaleCooper]

My question is still unanswered, and it's what is the ultimate plan for this eviction moratorium? Because at this point the pandemic isn't a reasonable justification anymore and it seems like what the left is arguing for is for a permanent or indefinite end to evictions.

 Why is the pandemic not rationale justification? If President Biden thinks the ban should be extended I believe he's working with better information than you about the threat the pandemic still has on the economy and society.

Why should the pandemic still be a justification? Practically everywhere is hiring, especially places that will hire the people most likely to struggle making rent. My 17-year-old nephew got his first job recently and gets paid 13 dollars an hour (in Nebraska!) to work part time at a sandwich place. I'm saying that if we still need an eviction ban now then I'm assuming we need it perpetually because as far as I can tell, there's no unique reason for it to be in place now as opposed to any other time. I supported the eviction halt early in the pandemic by the way.

 Your low information analysis about your nephew and sandwich shops is not the greater economy and says nothing about the social fallout of a mass wave of evictions. I think President Biden is working with a broader and better set of facts than you are, no offense.

Okay, that's fine, I'm low information. Inform me! That's all I've been asking for in this thread is some answers and I've gotten nothing other than jabs about how evil I am.

 I just did! Biden is calling for an extension on the eviction moratorium. Why do you think he would do that? What do you think a mass wave of evictions in a pandemic would look like? What do you think the broader repercussions would be on society?

 Previously Biden was set to let the moratorium expire but this new Delta wave and lagging in vaccinations from the unwilling has had him reevaluate that decision.

I like the guy, but "Biden knows best" isn't really all that informative of an explanation.

 That's not exactly it but if you want to reduce it to that and ignore the experts it's certainly better than the following drivel:

This is getting ridiculous.  Has anyone been to a restaurant lately?  Food service takes forever because they are all understaffed.  

What's really happening here is that a whole bunch of crooked renters saw the eviction moratorium and said "I can't get evicted no matter what, so I'm not gonna pay my rent."

My 17-year-old nephew got his first job recently and gets paid 13 dollars an hour (in Nebraska!) to work part time at a sandwich place.

What's the problem here? You liked someone else's anecdote so why can't I or anyone else share ours? I know it doesn't tell you what you want to hear, but you feel so strongly about this so surely you can answer my question with something other than an appeal to authority and threats of a vague future catastrophe.

I didn't even really come out as strongly against the eviction ban as others, I just want to know when the eviction moratorium should be lifted if not now and why it's still necessary since it presumably won't be in the future.
