Springfield Residents “Displaced” As Landlords Triple Rent Prices To Accommodate Haitian Migrants
Lifezette ^ | September 14, 2024 | Staff

A resident of Springfield, OH, has told a city commission meeting that locals are being displaced from their homes to make way for Haitian migrants.

The man, who has not been named, said the federal government was paying “triple the rent” for Haitians arriving in the town, thus incentivizing landlords to prioritize immigrants over existing residents.

Addressing the city commission, the resident – who said he’d worked with the homeless community for more than 25 years – said he didn’t know of “a single homeless Haitian in this town because they all got vouchers” from the federal government.

Addressing the city commission, the resident – who said he’d worked with the homeless community for more than 25 years – said he didn’t know of “a single homeless Haitian in this town because they all got vouchers” from the federal government.

“I personally know, and I’ll testify under oath [with] my hand to God, somebody that their house – they were there seven years,” he told the meeting. “Somebody that lost their house, they were there seven years. The landlord said, ‘Hey, I need you to move out. Find a temporary place. I’m gonna remodel it and then you can come back.’”

“They moved him out [and] tripled the rent,” he added before being cut off by the commission.

Too bad the uppity MSM doesn’t care about American citizens... they only get their glee if they feel a story mocks Trump or conservatives. And yeah, there are lots of real problems with dumping tons of illegals into the same area... stories they’ve refused to cover until now.

The government ATM is paying for it so the prices go up for housing. Just like college tuition and any other program the feds are involved in. Are the Haitians buying used 400 dollar hammers yet for the non existent jobs building EV charging stations?

I wonder. What will be the match that ignites the conflagration and when will the people realize their own government hates them and wants them gone?

My God, the Dems, Biden, Mayorkis and that scumbag AG Garland are evil beyond belief. The Dept of Homeland Security (what a JOKE) extended Haiti for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 18 months, from Aug. 4, 2024, through Feb. 3, 2026.

Now these people are getting untold millions in vouchers from our OWN fed gov that the landlords are using to TRIPLE rents in Springfield forcing long-time residents out into the streets.

The evil and insanity across our land has to stop.

Trump needs to be shouting about this gross injustice to native Americans to appease illegals in the country (and those that are quasi-legal under the TPS designation).

I am just boiling mad about all this crap heaped on us by Biden & Harris.

And they’re doing it with money borrowed from their victims’ kids.

They need to do what illegals do. Just be squatters, or simply quit paying rent, hire a lawyer to delay a trial, and wait months before finally getting evicted.

What’s funny about this....same trend of escalating rent, came to Germany over the past decade.

Migrants came to significant German towns/cities...rents went up. No one is building newer low-cost rental properties.

If Britain is any bell weather, then nothing will happen.
They pretty much squashed the Brits patriot movement with 2 tiered policing, prosecution and prison.

Like they are trying to do here. It always starts with denial of any such behavior and calls the accusers racists.
We DO have that pesky constitution thingy, but they are working to get around that.

Springfield, OH, could end up turning the election (not counting the election fraud).

I saw a report that the city manager that said he has seen no “credible” reports either owns or is part owner of 2 apartment complexes that rent to the Haitians. Of course he doesn’t want the news coming out. His federal money will dry up.

These are the issues people need to be posting about all over the place.

Needs to be front and center.

Somebody that lost their house, they were there seven years.

They didn't lose "their" house. It was never "theirs" to begin with. They were renting and the house belonged to someone else, their landlord.

The landlord did what he did to increase his margin on rental properties. That's the market at work.

What's wrong with this scenario is that government interfered with the market in three ways. First, they made legal what should have been illegal entries for a selected group. Second, they artificially altered the market for rentals by introducing that group to this community increasing demand for housing. Third, they subsidized the entrants to rent the properties at inflated prices.

Next, will come government contracting with preferred contractors to build more housing paid for by the same taxpayers who are being squeezed out of the market by government.

Government screws up everything it touches.

But let's not miss government's motive in all of this. They are trying to change the makeup of the electorate in specific areas of the country that have been traditionally conservative.

I have witnessed this now in St. Cloud, Minnesota where government assisted NGOs to drop Somali's into Stearns County.

I have also seen it in southern Wisconsin in the counties between Madison and the Illinois border where Hispanics have been imported in droves.

Government will do anything it can get away with to disenfranchise its citizens if it increases power and assures electoral success.

"I am just boiling mad about all this crap heaped on us by Biden & Harris."

Biden is a vegetable, Harris is nothing more then she appears. It's Obama that's running the show. Him and Soros, Klaus Schwab and the other "One Worlders" in our government.

The ONLY thing that will stop it is the people. They will need to rise up and get get deadly serious. I don't see that happening.. :(

"Those who profess to favor freedom, yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightening. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will." Frederick Douglass.

Even at triple rent, it won’t cover the damage these low IQ types will do.

That is a great quote by Frederick Douglass and perfectly apropos our times.

I don't know why this Jefferson quote comes to mind: "If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered."
