Eviction epidemic: the racialized, weaponized homes of America's cities

The rentier class is parasitic. They take on functions that should be run by the state (such as housing poor people) and extract the livelihood of the poor so they can live as middle class. Your taxes, in the form of welfare and housing benefit, go to people who own housing that is often unsafe. Poor people go hungry while our taxes go to land owners!

It’s hard out there for a landlord? Not nearly hard enough.
