From Tampa Bay, Florida, to Portland, Oregon, from Los Angeles to Boston, people took to the streets Jan.30-Feb 1. They organized car caravans, speakouts and dropped banners demanding that the government immediately cancel the rents and mortgages, house the homeless and stop evictions.
Actions took place in 30 cities as national and local eviction moratoriums have only paused millions of evictions, and a third of the population can’t pay their bills and are unable to catch up with the rent. An eviction crisis looms that will hit oppressed communities, already especially affected by the pandemic, the hardest. Meanwhile, big landlords are abusing loopholes and filing eviction lawsuits against families regardless of the moratoriums.
Bay Area, California. Twenty-four cars and six bikes took to the streets of Oakland and San Francisco calling in Spanish and English for a cancellation of rents and mortgages, an end to evictions and foreclosures, and housing the homeless in vacant housing. Both Bay Area caravans received support from the community.
In Oakland, they lined up at San Leandro BART station behind a sound truck, then made their way to the Alameda County Courthouse for a rally. Nathalie Hrizi, a San Francisco public school teacher, union organizer said, “In Alameda County there are 37,000 empty, vacant units and 8,000 people living on the streets…. This contradiction, that housing is not a human right, but housing is only for profit, is what defines this entire system.”

Pay everybody $4,000 a month, free college, free housing, free car, free food, and you have a disaster where everyone is poor, homeless and starving. (Except the ruling elite which is taken care of no matter what.)
A large segment of the population is too stupid to understand that.
I have a better idea. They can all go F themselves.
They’re whining because they don’t have rich parents to mooch off of.
Sounds better than Revolutionary Communist Party, doesn't it? Almost certainly the same folks.
You don’t have to pay rent for a snow cave.
Just saying.
Also $4000 a month becomes the new minimum wage while a McDonald hamburger raises to $5000.
Go for it. I can see their future where their bedrooms are given to others. Their kitchens are jointly used by five or six families, and their living rooms become common areas shared by people they don’t know, don’t want there and cannot make them leave.
The USSA government requisitioned those excess rooms because you do not have any rights since you do not pay rent.
For the 40 under crowd: See USSSR, Moscow and Leningrad housing.
I got caught in the middle of this demonstration at the Santa Clara County Courthouse. I was interviewed by 4 major news organizations, and was quoted in this KQED article.
another example of the media taking a pic of a handful of people with signs and turning it into a national event.
How stupid can they be?
Oops! I guess they’ve already answered that.
Locally, landlords are being forced to take possession of their properties by moving into them.
LOL
WOW
"We demand a land reform suitable to our national requirements, the passing of a law for the expropriation of land for communal purposes without compensation; the abolition of ground rent, and the prohibition of all speculation in land."

A competing translation doesn't have that clause, but does have a clause 11 that reads "Breaking of rent-slavery."

So, in any event, the Nazis appear to be on the march again.
“Actions in 30 cities say ‘Cancel the rents and mortgages!’ (Anarchic, Kommie, Punks”
Go ahead! If you all want to live in a commune, no one will stop you
“Pay everybody $4,000 a month, free college, free housing, free car, free food”
Exactly! We don’t need to worry until we’re in a Quadrillion dollars in debt!
The best of Alinsksy and Cloward-Piven: completely crash the economy and throw society into total chaos. Yeah, that oughta do the trick. /s
Starting to sound like the Hunger Games.
