@SenWarren Why are you so afraid of trusting the courts to do the right thing? Why take away the rights of homeowners and make them second class citizens in front of the law?

Our country is about to face an avalanche of evictions during the pandemic that will hit Black, Brown, & low-income communities the worst. The Senate must keep people in their homes by passing my bill to extend & expand the eviction moratorium. theappeal.org/eviction-cliff…

@HongPong @bphuang12 @MikeConnollyMA ...while tenants are currently free to ignore all conditions of the (expired!) lease with no recourse available to owners.

@HongPong @bphuang12 @MikeConnollyMA Real estate, like any other asset, is valued based on supply and demand. There is no particular mystery on the face of it. Underlying causes are many, but completely unrelated to eviction moratoriums. Owners are still obligated to hold up their end of a lease, even if expired...

I love the desperate emails that Small Property Owners Association (landlord lobby) sends out. Their email in response to @MikeConnollyMA's bill to protect renters for 1 year after COVID says: "Let us evict renters so that we don't set our buildings on fire to collect insurance."

@ShipsClock @bphuang12 @MikeConnollyMA The point? The court is closed to all "non-essential" evictions, which in many cases are for tenants not affected by COVID related financial issues but overstaying expired leases, not paying rent, utilities etc, but blocked from being evicted.

@atinm @bphuang12 @MikeConnollyMA Have you actually been to eastern housing court, Brooke Building, 9 am on any Thursday? To see what it’s really like?

@MikeConnollyMA @CityLife_Clvu @CPAJustice How does this help the homeowners who paid off their homes and are now stuck with renters with no proof of COVID related financial trouble but living rent free due to the "strongest eviction moratorium" in the country?

Our bill will do more than simply extend the Eviction Moratorium. Working in partnership with groups like @CityLife_Clvu, @CPAJustice, and other members of the Massachusetts Homes For All coalition, we’ve drafted legislation to guarantee a full year of housing stability for all.

Our Eviction Moratorium is the nation’s strongest — but it could expire on August 18 — and if that happens, a wave of displacement will disproportionately impact Black people in Massachusetts. @RepKevinHonan and I are about to file a bill to address this. bostonglobe.com/2020/06/28/met…

@HongPong @bphuang12 @MikeConnollyMA Case by case. My tenants are 40 year old visitors from another country that we invited to live here because they couldn't afford Cambridge rents, and now they have basically said they will not leave and have taken over a third of my house. My millennial students don't do that.

@HongPong @bphuang12 @MikeConnollyMA ..and of course haven't paid even the nominal rent in months. They do go to the beach everyday as we pay for their rent and utilities, and internet. This needs thoughtful solutions, not blanket moratoriums. Every case is different, why not let courts decide?

@MikeConnollyMA Blanket moratorium is grossly unfair as small homeowners are footing the bill for renters regardless of the circumstances. We are still a country with equal rights - let these cases go to court and let judges decide case by case.

@MikeConnollyMA Why do you not trust housing court judges to handle eviction on a case by case basis? There are tenants taking advantage of the moratorium to skip rent regardless of the ability to pay, are overstaying expired leases, and causing hardship to small homeowners

Lovely bike lanes from Kendall Sq, separated bike lane over Longfellow and to car hell Cambridge Street in front of MGH! At least the ER is right there when you get hit! Come on Boston, let’s pick up the pace on building bike lanes bostonglobe.com/magazine/2019/… @riparian

My son thinks I'm the coolest dad because I've been following @imjmichaels' music since she did 'Surrender' back when! #uhhuh #issues

@elithrar elithrar.github.io/article/http-h… how about errors before ServeHttp call, as in c.serve() on Handshake() error to log conn info cleanly?

Heard the #explosions at the #bostonmarathon all the way in Central Square, Cambridge but couldn't identify what it was...

@SamsungExynos Source for Sensors HAL, Audio source code, RIL interface documentation, or Camera HAL is what is needed.

@SamsungExynos Origenboard source is useless for developing for the phones that also use Exynos. Learn from codeaurora or omapzoom . . .

Nice - #earthquake in #cambridge #boston - now I'm thinking every creak in the house is an aftershock!

@SamsungExynos @Entropy512 omapzoom (TI) and codeaurora (QCom) style website for Exynos with real source code, anything else is fail.
