So the crux of the City Attorney& #39;s argument against an eviction ban - where they cast themselves as an objective arbiter of "balls and strikes" - is actually a question of what constitutes a "reasonable relationship" to the pandemic. No wonder Feuer wanted to keep this hidden.

Here& #39;s your reasonable relationship: The City of LAhas shut down its economy and ordered residents to stay home to prevent the spread of a deadly disease. Eviction IS eviction into homelessness, and, whatever the reason, makes a mockery of our efforts to stem the spread of Covid.

Thank you to @AlpertReyes for getting this document out to the public after our city councilmembers failed an easy test of courage yesterday. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-04-22/la-city-council-balks-at-broader-ban-on-evictions-amid-coronavirus">https://www.latimes.com/californi...

There are no "balls and strikes" in the City Attorney& #39;s memo. This is a political decision about a fight they think isn& #39;t worth having.

And, more than ever, how dare Mitch O& #39;Farrell impugn the integrity of Public Counsel for offering the city a justification to fight for tenants.
