This article is a great example of the "renter mentality". The latest Housing Policy dialog at Fannie Mae's website points out how housing stock in the "affordable" category has been systematically destroyed in recent decades by the thicket of "consumer protections" and "renters rights" legislation which has made it extremely costly to evict nonpaying or property-abusive tenants. The article puts the "tenants rights" mentality on display, and the first and third "Comment" responses point out in some detail the grotesque consequences of such tunnel vision: reduction of "affordable housing" availability.

I've dealt with Beazers/Crossmans/Trinity before. They keep having to change their names, because each time they build a housing edition, there is ALWAYS problems with their homes. So they change their name to make it appear they are a new company. They are sneak thiefs and will do everything possible to build cr*ppy homes, then get out of dodge and then they go destroy another community. They could care less about the neighbors who have to deal with their shotty workmanship they left behind.
