A guarantee is not a demand, it is something society agrees to pay for. No one has anything taken if the resource is provided by the gov't.
A healthy, housed and fed populace is *good* for the gov't AND its people.
What I'm saying literally prevents the situation here where a landlord is most definitely damaged by tenants who can't pay.
Be it moving to public housing built by the gov't for housing people down on their luck or victims of natural disaster. We already do this for storms...why not for someone being laid off in a bad job market?
Or via actual rent payment, etc.
The gov't can remove the damage being done to the landlord in a multitude of ways that are far cheaper than the long trial and eviction process. That also don't end up with people being put out on the street.
But as I said, we don't live in an intelligent society.
