Equipt box cars for them to live in.then-————
The banks holding the mortgages would then own the housing units. Banks would foreclose, and in those locales the government buys the bad paper, thus owning the buildings. So, lost tax revenue, no money to pay utilities and upkeep, and those rental units become unlivable -- and the deadbeats leave.
Sucks for everyone, but I can see it happening.
Today I went down to the courthouse because they don’t answer their phones and I couldn’t get a new date to show up.
They are basically shut down. An @$$hole deputy confronts you before you even enter. He escorts you to “room 104” and you humbly ask for your new date.
You are escorted back out of the building. You can’t file any motions because the court clerk office is closed, unless you’re a lawyer and know a lot of legal tricks.
T his is not due process.
Sounds like what happened in Detroit.
They are probably working from home but, friends have used them in the past
They have used one on 1st street and another on 3rd
Hope these are good resources
