After a pause during the pandemic, evictions in the U.S. are returning with a vengeance. Millions of low-income people have been kicked out of their apartments or face removal now that COVID-era moratoriums are being lifted and rents are skyrocketing.

Princeton University's Eviction Lab says eviction rates are more than 50% higher than pre-pandemic levels in many cities. Nationwide, rent prices are 30% higher than they were in 2019, according to the real estate website Zillow.

Landlords and renters held rival protests in Oakland, California, recently as the City Council debated lifting moratoriums on evictions and rent increases. Council members voted to end both measures in July but added some protections for people in need.

First we get to hear from the apartment association, which we intend on meeting with a lot on the off season āØ
They are very upset about extending a eviction 20 more days for tenants. It is verrrrry inconvenient they say.
@RepSnyder85 has great questions #copolitics

@WoodrowForCO asks the Apartment Association to share data on when evictions are settled or what the additional 20 day extension would really impact.

We have seen from our casework how traumatic the existing notice period can be for tenants ā the realities of just how hard it can be to find an alternative home over just a short period of time and the impact this can have on their mental health and finances.
Thread: Millions of renters at risk of eviction are grappling with the news that they are no longer protected by the @CDCgov #EvictionMoratorium. The @USSupremeCourt decision last night makes clear that Congress must act before another nation-wide eviction ban can be issued.
Congress should act now, and states & localities can also take steps to prevent & delay #evictions.

Small shops, businesses, farmers etc were never really supported by successive govts in this country who have let big corp, multi-nationals, industrial farming etc rule & take-over, especially ruining rural towns, so in a crisis situation zero difference.

We have to make sure that
moving forward we don't allow the gardaĆ/media to use the far-right as a reason to clamp down on protests in general - there will be times ppl must protest as responsibly as possible following guidelines. eg. #Debenhams #evictions etc etc...

This morning I introduced my amendment protecting renters from evictions, and landlords from foreclosures when a city or village enacts a moratorium due to COVID. #Evictions #Foreclosures #COVID19
A few of my colleagues have given me the courtesy of a heads up (I appreciate it) that they will be challenging the germaness of my amendment to LB 866 to try to kill it procedurally. I'll make my arguments against that on the floor but this is too important of an issue.
Nebraska and the U.S. will be facing an avalanche of evictions in the fall without action by policymakers. As many as 18% of Nebraska renters will be at risk of eviction by the end of September.

The recent effects of the #COVIDć¼19 are causing a lot of problems around the world, especially for people who have suffered significant loss of #income. In such a difficult and critical time, ā#homeā has become a ā#defenseā against the #coronavirusPandemic.
States around the world are ordering people to stay āat homeā to prevent the spread of Covid-19. But at the same time, many states are at risk of being evicted, while at least 150 million people worldwide are homeless and living on temporary shelters or sidewalks.
Most of you know that wages in the United States have remained stagnant since 1980, when adjusted for inflation. Do you realize, however, that the US is a global #empire and that we are likely witnessing the fall of that empire?

.@GovHolcomb's weekly #coronavirus briefing is underway.
While younger Hoosiers remain a tiny sliver of IN death toll, Holcomb says they're a growing % of positive cases; 21% of all cases are under 30, vs. 12% at start of the #pandemic. He says it could be gap in underlying conditions, or that younger Hoosiers are taking more risks.
Box: 16% of all cases have been hospitalized, a slight drop from last week. She calls declines in hospitalization encouraging.
1] Some ppl have been accused of using the "tired song" of ZanuPF's underhand or marriage of convenience with #Mwonzora et al.
It would seem like #ZanuPF has used the "kombayi tirove" tactic in the "kombai titore" hijacking of the MDC Headquarters.
#Mwonzora should be ashamed.
