"But we also think that the responsibility for the safety of [low-income people] — and let's face it, it's low-income people who have this problem — that's a responsibility for society at large, for everyone, not just for the people who happen to own the buildings where these people make their homes."

running any business comes with risk. “help” should go to the tenant before the business. if a landlord cant afford a business then they should quit and get a normal job instead of being a piece of shit human.

landlords should not exist, to begin with. they are garbage people.

Yes, thats a brilliant deduction. I rent safe, comfortable and most importantly AFFORDABLE suites to people like: university students, single moms, people who are just separating from their spouse, couples who just met, disabled veterans, people on a temporary work assignment, people who move every couple of years, people who dont know where they want to buy a house yet, people who would rather invest than buy a house... and NONE of them want to buy a house. But Im a 'garbage' person for giving them a good place to live. Ok then, good deduction there Sherlock.
