Does eviction cause poverty?
-
So basically it's all the crap people do before getting evicted that causes poverty.
Honestly makes sense.Cracking the "soc code" for fun and profit isn't all that difficult. It just takes drive, determination, and a big helping of shamelessness. Where "everybody" argues X, you argue Y OR argue X but insist "everybody" argues Y. It isn't rocket science.
X-Y: Everybody knows that people get evicted because they can't pay their rent. Eviction might make things harder, but it is not a cause of their underlying problems.
[much waving if hands] Well, actually... Ca-ching!!!
X-Y-X: Everybody knows that street-level dealers are marginal, destitute people.
[Kurtz returns from years in the Heart of Darkness] Y'all think these people out there living like Tony Montana, but actually they are doing no better than fry cooks at Long John Silvers... Ca-Ching!!!
X-Y-X: Everybody knows that toffs at private schools are entitled dicks and they also know that this isn't the 19th century anymore. These kids have to learn to function in a less aristocratic and more democratic society.
[returns from return to own school] These kids are kinda dicks, but, let me tell you, it isn't the 19th century anymore and, if they aren't going to be bum rushed from any social situation involving normal people, they have to learn to be a bit less aspie. Ca-ching!!!

Well didn't need economists to figure this out. It's obviously the other way around. Yet this charlatan has a Pulitzer, a Genius Grant, an 'Eviction Lab,' and a shiny full professorship at Princeton.

@just_shelter: Lyft conversation in South Bend, IN yesterday:
Me: You like living here?
Driver: Yes! The cost of living is so low.
Me: But there are a lot of evictions here.
Driver: No tenant rights. Last eviction I did took 7 days. Filed on Friday; they were evicted on Thursday.

Myriad sociology studies found and are aware that poverty causes eviction, it is just part of the commonsense. The problem is not how to identify the petty and boring cutenomics type of causality that your granny knows too. It is too understand why eviction is bad, for whom, and how.
