RE: What To Do About Immigration
Hey Capt. Obvious,
Why would you continue to rent to people who don't pay. Evict them. By your bleeding heart liberal blurb above I know your no Mother Thresea so there has to be something on your end. Govt. Assisted housing perhaps? Just another land lord fattening himself up at the govt. slop bucket. I don't know, but by your own admission 5 out of 100 are different. 95% of your renters are dead beats huh. Sounds pretty slum lordish to me. If all you want to do is ***** about those trying to escape poverty, sell out. Put yourself up a condominium complex on the lake. Upgrade the clientele. Be a good Republican and Get off the fat tete' of the govt. trough.

Can someone who sucks on the Gov. Tete' everyday at work tell me to get off of it? Seems hypocritical.
It isn't me that is on the government tete'. Some of my renters are. They are the best to get because the money comes right to me, no middleman (renter) to deal with. It also shows that these agencies don't trust them any more with the money than I would. Why would I not rent to these people? Seems like smart business sense to me. Money without the hassle. I know..."Those who can't, teach." so you probably don't understand that. It also proves that these apartments are not "slums", as the someone from the agency comes by and checks out the dwellings before agreeing to pay.
To answer your first question, I don't purposely rent to those who won't pay. It just usually ends up that way (i.e. the 95%). After they stop paying, I evict. Unfortunately, people like you, Greg and the other bleeding hearts have installed legislation that prevents me from going in and throwing these people out on their asses immediately after the payments stop. The process usually takes 60-90 days with these renters (and I use this term loosely seeing as they are no longer paying at this point) getting to live for free (while at the same time giving them time to wreck more stuff inside the apartment).
These apartments are not in a college or swanky environment. Most people in this area who can afford to, buy houses or rent those condos you were talking about on the lake (make sense doesn't it?). That leaves a population of lower to lower-middle class individuals and families with shaky at best credit. Hence the low success rate.

Hey, instead of mocking my real world experience, why not provide some evidence that contradicts it?
I know this would be a big change from your usual M.O. of just dropping a load of crap and flying away, but you should give it a try. It makes these threads so much more interesting.
P.S. Any pollster will tell you, having over 1,000 data points is more than enough to predict the outcome of an entire population with very close accuracy (i.e. +/- 4%). I'd explain how it works, but I don't want to talk over your head.
Anecdotes don't mean jack. You made the original claim. Back it up with statistical data.
Why? You never back up anything you post on here with real data! You just throw some non-witty comment down followed by "I know you are, but what am I" rhetoric and move on to the next thread. I have already put down real world proof. I see it every day. You want to disprove it, be my guest. Otherwise move along.
This was your original claim:

However, a program like this could never possibly happen because we have too many bleeding heart liberals that would think making someone earn their welfare would be cruel and unusual. So we have the system we have today where the government rewards you with a bigger check if you just keep popping out kids.
Back it up with facts, or move along.
I'm just going to keep doing what you do.
You go back it up with facts or STFU.
Hey, look I can be a liberal too....Yippee!!

No, no. You're right. You just keep typing the same thing over and over and over....Or are you copying and pasting? That would make more sense.

So are you ready to back up your original claim? Or are you content to keep dodging the issue?

Unless you provide some statistical data to prove your claim, then I guess we have to assume you're making this stuff up.

RE: What To Do About Immigration
I heard a joke which seems like the best answer. You dig a big moat along the U.S.-Mexico boarder. You take all that dirt and dump it in New Orleans, then you fill the moat with water and get a bunch of the aligators out of the everglades. Viola, you've solved three problems in one fell swoop. Don't know if the folks in New Mexico, Arizona and California will like finding allegators in their yards, but what the heck.
