Now, she's living in her car with her 6-year-old son, sometimes spending nights at the apartments of friends or her son's father.

I think I see the problem here.

[SamAdams76]

Where is the father in all of this? I know he is alive based on the article. I’m sure there’s more to the story but most fathers wouldn’t allow their six-year-old sons to be homeless and sleep in cars with the mother.

Eviction filings nationwide have steadily risen in recent months and are approaching or exceeding pre-pandemic levels in many cities and states. That's in stark contrast to the pandemic, when state and federal moratoriums on evictions, combined with $46.5 billion in federal Emergency Rental Assistance, kept millions of families housed.

These news stations and their parent companies are free to pay these people's rents. Better yet, have them live at their houses.

[Flick Lives]

You know what exacerbates rental costs? Flooding the country with illegals.

[Captain Peter Blood]

The lockdowns caused the problems and now there are no solutions.

[lightman]

The “free lunch” money has been cut off.

Deal with it, serfs!

[Bullish]

Some of these deadbeat renters think they own the place and don't have to pay after a while. Our govt has helped facilitate that fallacy with their moratoriums.

I’m due in court tomorrow morning at 10:00 am to evict a tenant. Probably will have another one in about a month.

[vpintheak]

Many people got emergency funds, or got payment deferred for utilities during Covidiocy. To add to covidiocy these idiots pretty much acted like they didn’t have to pay, even though they could. When covidiocy ended, these people had to pay the piper, and it wasn’t pretty.

Just claim to be an ILLEGAL ALIEN and the gov’t will put you up in a $400/night hotel.

Here it comes; the “violence” of violins!

Now, she's living in her car with her 6-year-old son, sometimes spending nights at the apartments of friends or her son's father.

The child looks a little on the tan side. Father must be exempt from child support.

It’s the way things need to be. Sorry about evictions and payments, but it’s grand theft to deprive a landowner of the proceeds from his property.

[Larry Lucido]

Then she was fired from a grocery store job in February after taking time off to help a relative.

I think there is a disconnect here.

"Hey, cuz, I need some help."

"Okay, let me just quit my job and I'll be right over."

"Thanks for helping. I'm back on my feet now."

"Cool, but now I lost my job. Can you..."

"New phone. Who dis?"

[CurlyDave]

As a landlord, I can assure you that 99.9% of the time when a tenant is evicted that housing unit does not disappear from the nation’s housing stock. It is either re-rented to another tenant or sold to an owner-occupant. In either case, it is occupied by someone who previously did not have a decent place to live.

What evictions do is remove unsuitable tenants from housing units and replace them with more suitable ones.

Re: "Now, she's living in her car with her 6-year-old son"

MSM and Political Left - feasting once again on the social services ignorance of most American voters.

Homeless women and children are recognized as uniquely vulnerable individuals by the federal government and by almost every state.

Even if shelters are 100% full, most states or the feds will immediately pay for a motel or hotel room.

The big exemption would be a woman who is violent, or mentally ill, addicted to drugs or alcohol, or is a habitual criminal - in which case, the 6 year old child would be removed from her custody.
