LA County once again discussing an eviction moratorium, this time relating to federal deportations of undocumented immigrants. Am begging the Supervisors to internalize the following: 1. Regardless of our personal feelings regarding the fairness or lack thereof of the deportations: Property owners are not social service agencies. Our job is to provide the housing under the terms of the leases we sign with tenants, in exchange for rent. 2. Every time you even discuss eviction moratoriums, it's like hoisting a gigantic red flag telling investors "DO NOT INVEST HERE"... which would be fine, except there is zero chance LA County can build the housing we need with public $$, so we urgently need private investors to provide it. If you would like to help families affected by deportations (a worthy goal!), the appropriate means of doing so is a public program providing targeted rental assistance to those specific families. @kathrynbarger @SupJaniceHahn @LindseyPHorvath @_HollyJMitchell @HildaSolis
