I feel like a lot of problems in the US could just be solved by improving the courts. Eliminate the wait times, offer streamlined hearings, and evictions for fault, like nonpayment, could be a lot simpler.

We've been trialing an arbitration system out here that's rather successful.
I think it makes sense to do what it takes to make sure that trials can start quickly, and you aren't waiting months or years for your trial to begin.

Courts are only so big. So many clerks running things. I'm sure there's more qualified candidates for judges than there are funding for those judges.
I had to do a double take and make sure they weren’t talking about tenants… weren’t there plenty of problematic tenants who don’t pay rent because they couldn’t be evicted?
I was a tenured property manager when all the shit went down initially and I didn't have a single tenant out of ~220 "take advantage" of the moratorium. I left the industry for lower paying work because of the owners' amorality.
This is the same as the "welfare queen" argument. Yes, there are a few people who take advantage of something that helps many others. That doesn't mean you stop doing it. At best, you make the system more robust.
There were, yeah. My neighbor tried using COVID as an excuse and ended up skipping state instead of going to court.
