Reply to comment by nowyourdoingit in What would happen if there was just a city-wide rent strike? Like eventually it would end up in court obviously but if everyone collectively stopped paying rent, the renters would get bargaining leverage back before all the evictions came. Seems like it could be a worthwhile experiment. by Bluehorsesho3

The 2020 protests confirm that the governments response would not be to jail large protests. Even the violent rioters were often not arrested or prosecuted. A nonviolent rent strike would receive a very favorable response from the government.
