| Topic | Lotta people getting evicted from their flooded Houston homes |
| Aristoph 09/05/17 9:00:05 AM #7: | Umm....I'm not sure how kicking people out makes the landlords "greedy." I mean, if nobody's living there then they're not going to be making any money on those apartments. There's not greedy about making less money. I'd say that a lot of those apartments that got flooded probably don't meet the legal standards for safe living spaces. So if the landlords were to let someone stay there, they'd be liable for all kinds of dangerous shit. Telling people they have to leave isn't motivated by greed so much as simple self-preservation. Let 1 or 2 floors go so that they can repair them and maintain the rest of the building, or let people stay and face possible legal repercussions that might cost them their entire business. Seems like a pretty easy choice to me. EDIT: Does it suck for those tenants that have to leave? Absolutely. Of course it does. But it sucks for the landlords too. It's not like there's a winner in this situation. --- PSN ID: Aristoph http://www.youtube.com/user/SotCRules ... Copied to Clipboard! |
