<p class="MsoNormal">I’m curious if any of you LL/T gurus and/or
real property litigators are considering filing some kind of
action or class action on a constitutional takings basis? It
seems to me that the government has turned private landlords
into unwilling purveyors of public housing. All of these
regulations/laws were hastily conceived and handed down by
fiat. The result has been a tremendous and concentrated loss
to private property owners. Perhaps it has to play out
further? Have to wait to quantify the exact loss when the
moratoriums end and you work through getting them out under
all of these onerous “drag it out” policies benefiting only
tenants? We all know that deadbeat tenants are never going to
pay up even a tiny fraction of what they owe. That is but a
legal illusion of justice for the property owners.<o:p></o:p></p>
