God only knows where all of these people with totally dysfunctional lives are going to live after they are thrown out. the government has already filled the motels up with the regular homeless crowd.
My tenants are some of the nicest, upwardly mobile, people you could ever meet so I've got no concerns.

You have the Ca syndrome down your neck of the woods too? I am so sick of this land lord = evil people. Before our state voted on our entire state under rent control, all my friends that have been renting to good people without raise in rent for years, and years now suddenly had to raise rent to market rate. They were all pissed off as hell and decided to go on rent freeze. He's only trying to protect himself from the strong arm of the law that favors tenants but they never see it that way and the land lord are to blame for rent increase. It was voted down but our dumb siht governor signed it into law a couple months later and many of the cities imposed rent freeze or no rent increase blocking landlords to raise rent to market rate. Bhat a bunch of BS.
How bad are your homeless situation there with only 5 million people. The numbers can't be that high? Unemployment rate must be low?
