so zillow let a robot buy up thousands of properties, outbidding real buyers and artificially inflating the market, and now will be laying off a full quarter of its workforce and selling off the properties to rental corps like BlackRock at vastly discounted prices. that right?

If you're looking only at formal eviction data to understand how landlords are pushing tenants out, you're missing a much bigger story. The court numbers don't account for the power that landlords have over their tenants in a world where tenants have almost no protected rights.

If you're a homeowner, you love this graphic
If you ever want to buy a house (e.g., if you're young or low income) this graphic fills you with dread
This is the crux of the generational & wealth gap in housing. People who buy become NIMBYs who prevent more housing supply

REMINDER: A landlord losing money on an investment is not equivalent to a tenant losing their home due to an eviction, especially during a pandemic. One is loss of profit, another is potential loss of life. Do not conflate these phenomena. #EndEvictions

Many tenants (who are in a state of crisis) aren’t going to know that clearing cookies, images, and cached data is a prerequisite for using the site. What’s your plan for creating a more user friendly process amidst a pandemic?
