Cancel Rents and Mortgages[W:280]

Re: Cancel Rents and Mortgages

From what I can tell, the courts are not going to process any evictions or foreclosures during the current crises.
So far it looks like the banks are going along with just pushing mortgage payments out.
The article I read stated that communicating with your mortgage company was important.
What To Do If You Can't Pay Your Mortgage Due To COVID-19 | Bankrate
For many, both their employer is closed, and they are under shelter in place orders.
For landlords, The best that they can hope for is that enough people make rent, that they can sustain operations.
I think everyone will suffer some under this crises.

Those first links are quoting daily or weekly rates.
 
Re: Cancel Rents and Mortgages

You qualified it with a man who was intellectually challenged and only capable of a menial and unstable labor.

Now you are moving the goal posts. And not answering direct questions that examine the gaps in your thinking.
Given that you continue to refuse to answer, I must assume you're fine with him being forced to live on the streets.
 
Re: Cancel Rents and Mortgages

I'm saying that hard working people should be able to buy decent homes. If they're unable then something is wrong.

And then you jump back in and state that people that don't have enough assets, income, credit, stability should not purchase houses. You can't have it both ways.

I never said should not. Right now they cannot. They wouldn't be approved for a mortgage.
 
Re: Cancel Rents and Mortgages

Nonsense.

Here are the first locations listed in the first two links...Las Vegas and San Antonio. Neither mention daily or weekly rates.

Re: Cancel Rents and Mortgages

Banks and other finance companies are getting bailed out, why not American workers? Unemployment is going to 30%, yet we're not going to give workers relief from their bills? Just a quick few thousand that will go straight to landlords and banks? Give me a break.

Here's what should be done. Impose nationwide rent control during the emergency. Apply it to mortgages also. Cap how much can be paid by living area. Those living in humble homes should be paying at most a few hundred per month during this crisis. And honestly, just keep it that way. You have people getting wealthy who add nothing to society, who merely have a claim on wealth by owning property. Limit their profits and help those who really need it: workers, not owners.

Our government doesn't take this seriously because it's owned by exploiters, profiteers, and usurers. It's a disgusting system and I'd love to see corona collapse it.

Right, so you decide to live in one of the most expensive cities in the nation, apparently have a skill set that has you scraping the bottom, and somehow that is everyone else's problem and your landlord ought to pay you to live there? Good luck with that junior.

So...pick another place.

You can't go by "right now". The economy sucks everywhere. But I have relatives who live in Vegas and they are doing okay.

But hey...you can always find excuses. The question is, though, would you rather cry and demand the government do something about your problems? Or will you take responsibility for yourself?

Ask the question then, without the qualifier of the intellectually challenged man doing menial and impermanent labor. And then you also have to explain why the average American worker is doing menial and impermanent labor as a rule.

1/3rd of all households live in housing they can't afford. That's not a policy failure?

Pick another place? That was the cheapest place you could find. The next cheapest is a tent on the sidewalk. You feel that's a legitimate option?

I shouldn't care about the unskilled also? I should only care about the average?
 
Re: Cancel Rents and Mortgages

Because Republican scum have the presidency and senate. That's why not.
 
Re: Cancel Rents and Mortgages

So let's say there's a guy born kind of stupid. Not his fault, he's just dumb, but he's really good at bussing tables. If he does that full time at the best of his ability, should he be unable to ever own a home because he's kind of dumb?
Sadly...yes...thats precisely what it means because the people he works for understand business and know that it isnt realistic to pay him 2-3 times the market wage for his skillset AND people like you that believe he should be gifted whatever wages he needs know less than dick about running a business so you will never be able to hire him and make him the recipient of your largess.
 
Re: Cancel Rents and Mortgages

Well, let's look at that for a minute. Where are most of those places? Let me guess. New York. New Jersey. California. Washington. Oregon. etc. What do they all have in common? Solid blue governance for decades. When local rules and regulations drive the price of real estate up then it will get passed along via rent, don't like it? Blame the local governance. You want to live in that cesspool of LA and you can't make a living? Who's fault is that? Yours? Newsom's? The California legislature? Mayor of LA? I don't know, but I know it's got nothing to do with the federal government or me.

Because Republican scum have the presidency and senate. That's why not.

Where are the banks even getting bailed out here genius?
 
Re: Cancel Rents and Mortgages

I care about the unskilled. However I dont believe that there is any reason that any average American worker needs to remain unskilled. Ever.

If they do so, that is their choice. They are responsible for the consequences of their choices.

Why do you think that people that choose to remain unskilled and thus less likely to make a higher wage are deserving of more of the sweat of another's brow? Why should others sacrifice after their hard work if the unskilled laborer chooses to remain at a financial level lower than the current standard of living?

That wasn't the cheapest place I could find. Those links were random places that came up in a search based on your conditions.

What? You want me to find the cheapest place for you? Forget it. Do your own research...if you can get over being lazy.

What's Gavin Newsom busy doing? Oh that's right giving home owners a break while evictions are merely deferred for renters. What a joke.

So below average people can just die. Your worldview is disgusting.

And only those places have jobs. Hmm.

How do you care? You just forced him into a tent on the sidewalk.

Lol it literally was the cheapest place, that's why you made it the example!

Please answer my questions first. Dont answer questions with questions.

And if it's their choice to remain unskilled...I didnt force them into anything.
