The Rent, Disability, and Power Dynamics - Insights from Michigan's Rental Landscape
Not all low-income individuals are riffraff.
One thing I've noticed is that people who collect Social Security always pay their rent on time.
Landlords never have to worry about a disabled person not paying their bills because they have guaranteed income; that's like a win-win, so why deny them?
Most of them aren't even disabled; they just didn't fit into the psychopathic personality traits of capitalism, so the state deemed them as disabled, lol.
In an article from September 2023 on mlive.com titled 'Tenants say rent is too high. Michigan lawmakers say they have solutions,' lawmakers aren't going to help you.
What needs to happen is that poor people need to stop being so passive.
The poor need to start becoming like the mafia and go after landlords with bats.
Fear is the only way to get oppressors to respond.
It's how they keep the poor in line.
“While numerous factors drive homelessness, the most significant causes are the shortage of affordable homes and the high cost of housing that have left many Americans living paycheck to paycheck and one crisis away from homelessness,” Olivet said. Dec 15, 2023
There's no damn law forcing tenants to rake in three times the rent; it's just a self-righteous guideline some landlords throw around.
But let's call it what it is – morally bankrupt and downright discriminatory.
This insistence on an arbitrary income threshold is a twisted game that's fueling the homelessness crisis.
Your lifestyle is your damn business; landlords have no right poking around in your wallet.
If you can cough up the rent, that's the end of the story.
If not, it's on you to figure it out, but forcing people to meet some arbitrary income benchmark is a heartless practice contributing to the very problem they claim to want to avoid.
It's time to reject this morally repugnant game that leaves people on the streets just because they don't meet someone else's financial litmus test.
