Earlier this morning I added the second in a series of posts about how we can change the housing debate. This latest post is about eviction. Here’s a sample

As I said in the introduction of this series, the housing issue is being blamed for problems it didn’t create and offered as a solution for problems it can’t solve. Eviction is so readily and uncritically believed by policy makers as a serious problem that they make policy changes to the minutiae of eviction law while ignoring that what people struggling to pay rent need each month isn’t more discretion for eviction judges but some extra cash at the end of the month.

It is going to take a lot of effort to reverse the trend of uncritical reports in the media about “eviction epidemics.” But we’re starting. The series continues for the rest of the week.
