A sobering view of eviction and the housing crisis in the new era of the United States. Featuring @timthomas.bsky.social.

New episode alert! Listen to a sobering interview with US researcher @timthomas.bsky.social on the challenges #renters face in America, racial bias inherent in many #eviction laws & how #housing advocates & academics are grappling w/ Trump 2.0. Produced w/ @spacingradio.bsky.social buff.ly/RGnF8aj

Under President Biden, a 30-day eviction notice rule was made permanent. A new bill would erase it and landlords would be allowed to give tenants in federally-subsidized housing three days’ notice or less before evicting them. @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/r...

HUD is struggling to meet even a fraction of the country's need at current funding levels & the Secretary is bragging about the richest man on Earth finding $260 million in mystery savings? This is so far removed from reality.

Interview with @timthomas.bsky.social on the eviction crisis in Spokane WA. www.kxly.com/news/spokane...

"Starting with President Richard Nixon...public housing started facing serious austerity measures & never recovered. Federal investments shifted away from building new public housing units & toward housing vouchers & public-private partnerships."

While in the middle of a housing crisis, software co's are pushing rents higher. Recent analysis by the White House is showing how price gouging software has increased the cost of rent. For example, 68% of landlords in Atalanta were charging $181 more a month. www.axios.com/2024/12/17/r...

More than half of Black (57%) and Hispanic (53%) renters are cost burdened, substantially higher than the 45-46% of white and Asian renters. New research brief: www.jchs.harvard.edu/research-are...

#Evictions are far above historical average in #WashingtonState. New data shows King, Spokane, and Clark Counties saw the highest 12-month count in recorded history. This increase follows gradual lifting of pandemic protections in July 2023 (e.g., #EPRAP & the Eviction Resolution Pilot Program.

Harvey IL city police just boarded evictees inside their home. This is one of the most disturbing things I’ve seen in a while. www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRcxmrfj/

#California #evictions are much higher in larger counties than they were before the pandemic. We'll have a state profile using these data up soon. calmatters.org/housing/home...
