Re: Re: Woman sues over toxic mold

She is poor, and the apartment is rent-subsidized.

Many people who have not gone to college can no longer earn enough, even

working full time, to rent even small apartments in many areas. So the

apartment is an asset she cannot afford to lose.

She will probably lose the lawsuit, as even those who move usually do with

the forces that are arrayed against them.

If she moves and sues and loses, then she has lost everything. If she

remains and sues and loses, she at least wont be homeless, even if the

environment is unhealthy, its not as unhealthy as the street.

People should not be forced to make that choice. Public or private housing

should be healthy, and housing providers need to be incentivized to maintain

them in that state.

Laws and lawyers who force poor people to move before they can sue - even if

there is noplace to move to - are profoundly clueless about the nature of

the choices faced by poor and non-elite people.

These coercive choices should be seen to be profoundly against public

policy..
