Kansas City Eviction Crisis Continues

Newsies target "slumlords" and the dearth of affordable housing in a city that seems obsessed with taxpayer subsidy of luxury living space. Meanwhile, collecting rent is now, apparently, the latest local hate crime . . . Read more:

Jackson County Landlords Seek 42 Evictions Per Day, And The Toll On Families Is Staggering

In the cold of a Kansas City winter, Fran Marion and her two teenage children wrapped themselves in coats and blankets in their frigid rental home. Marion had repeatedly asked her landlord to fix their broken furnace. When he didn't respond, Marion deployed the only option she could think of.

    Yet again,, NOT 1 word about reducing TAXES on everything in this city !!!

    which would free up more money for the poor.

    Have any of YOU ever bothered to actually analyze your utility BILLS and look at all the FEE's KCMO has attached to your :

    KCP&L Electric Bill every month ??

    your GAS BILL

    Cable Bill

    Phone bill

    Let me inform you , its NOT pennys or nickles every month !!!

    Throw on TOP of that the FEE's for renewing your license tags on your vehicle as well as the Property taxes on your vehicles and its outrageous , even for a 10-15 yr.old vehicle

    All those SECRET / Hidden City / County fee's they hope you DON'T pay attention to adds up to hundreds of millions of dollars in city coffers every year !!!

    That's the Democratic Liberals agenda to keep you dead BROKE and in despair and seeking the city's assistance for you to get by,,,

    That's their agenda of Socialism / Communism

    They STEAL your MONEY thru Higher Taxes and or NEW Taxes , that never really go to where its supposed to go as intended.

    Then they come back every so often wanting more TAX Increases for all kinds of frivolous BS, filled with excuses and lies !!!

    The Democratic liberal Party down at KCMO & Jackson County is playing you people like FOOL's to their Benefit and laughing about it !!

    Enjoy the High Crime and Murder rates in your neighborhood !!!!

    Thanks to the Pathetic Commie Liberals at KCMO City Hall and the legislators at Jackson County !!!

  3. What would one expect when the current leadership of the Democrat party is Hillary Clinton, some Florida school children, and a porn star.

  4. Leftism is, at its core, based upon the abject and unapologetic denial of observable reality. They’re not just insane, they’re proudly insane. Point out their hypocrisy until Gabriel blows his horn, and it won’t affect them a bit. We’re dealing with people who have knowingly and willingly turned their backs on any form of logic and reason. The only reason they’re winning is that sane people haven’t stepped up and put them in the rubber room where they obviously belong.

  5. One thing you can't do to a landlord no matter what the circumstance, and that is withhold your rent. that was mistake #1. A lot of the problem is how they manage their money. I've seen low income people in quick trip and at fast food places, that's not cheap. I've also seen them with enough fireworks to last two days, that's not cheap either.

  6. Another part of not being evicted is that you 1) talk to your landlord frequently about your rental and advise them of property concerns in a positive way, 2) Don't tear up the property and keep it clean. 3) If you are responsible for outside maintenance then keep the grass cut and the snow shoveled and don't throw trash on the ground. 4) be a good neighbor to others in your area, no loud music, no fights, no junk cars in the yard, no guns or drugs. 5) pay your rent in a timely manner, try to pay a few days early. 6) If you are having money problems share them with the Landlord and have a plan to make rent payments current if you do get into a hole. 7) be a decent person.
    You'll find that will keep the warrant officers off your front porch.

  7. So if people can live in houses rent free what will the result be? Look at all the property in the inner city of so little value that no one bothers to maintain it.

  8. Just pay your rent and you won't get evicted. Go to Applebee's and eat for free if you have to, but pay the rent.

  9. I watched the show on KCPT of the landlord crisis and all those stats they are pushing an agenda for another tax to help out poor people in Kansas city which will be misused and another crutch for people that live off the system to rely on instead of going out and actually working for living.

    Liberals disgust me.

  11. The Democratic Party seeks to keep African-Americans enslaved.

    Democratic Party fought to maintain slavery in the U.S.

    Democratic Party fought to maintain slavery in the Confederate States of America, at the cost of dividing our nation.

    Democratic Party fought against equal rights and voting rights for African-Americans.

    Democratic Party supported and helped establish the KKK.

    2016 Democratic Party Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton was mentored by West Virginia Senator Robert Byrd (D), a former member of the KKK.

    Former Arkansas Governor and President Bill Clinton and former First Lady and Senator Hillary Clinton were members of an all-white Little Rock country club during their Arkansas years.

    African-Americans will continue to be subjugated by the Democratic Party until they stop carelessly throwing away their political support to their oppressors.

  16. 1:48 - @ 9:14 responding: I was a renter many years ago. I remodeled my rental after talking to the landlord into buying the materials and after two years left the house in 100% better shape than I got it. I always paid my rent five days early too.
    I then after being careful with my money built a new house for my wife and I. We lived there for ten years and used our savings to build a second home and raised our kids there.
    I have friends that got into the landlord business and the horror stories are terrifying. People don't pay rent on time, if they are a month overdue they typically tear up the place and steal appliances etc. One time they stole the carpet out of the entire house and took toilets which probably explains why they shit on the floor before leaving in the middle of the night. I am not stupid enough to use my money to provide a nice place for others to tear down and not pay for it.
