On poor people the question was whether anyone here knew poor people well enough to know their spending/vacationing choices.

We could relax rules so that the authorities have more options than evict or ignore. If the fire dept or police had the option of simply directing that the tenant would have to keep X number of extinguishers for every X number of people, and had to make sure ample easily accessed exits were clear in case of fire, the problem could have at least been thoughtfully approached.
Too many of our codes are starkly black and white.
