What Montana Can Teach Us About Housing Reform Two years ago, lawmakers in the Big Sky State passed one of the most comprehensive state-level housing reform packages in the country. This year, they doubled down on their success.

Rene', our Maintenance Manager, has been able to shave turnover times from over 30 days to less than 18 days! Saves 2 weeks of vacant, unleased time. Way to go, Rene'.

When I read this stuff, I ask "Are King County and Seattle's housing programs working?" We are 5 years since the pandemic -- plenty of time to effect some positive change in housing. My unequivocal answer -- NO! Their policies are flawed.

For example: $10/mo. late fee? Really. Look, we're not trying to "get rich" on late fees. We ARE trying to modify human behavior through some basic psychology called "cause and effect". You do a small bad you get punishment. You do a big bad you get a big punishment.

Banks charge ~5% for a mortgage late because banks know that if they charge $10 for a late fee then no one would pay their mortgage!

Guess what? Since instituting the $10/mo. late fee in 2023, evictions are skyrocketing...hence this notice from the sheriff's office:

In a July 1st email, the King County Sheriff's Office announced a reduction in in-person service hours in order to prioritize processing incoming writs, which have accumulated a backlog due to multiple factors.

Multiple factors. One of those factors: SCREWED UP HOUSING POLICIES ENCOURAGING BAD BEHAVIOR FROM TENANTS WHO LATER GET EVICTED!!
