Even if they weren’t technically evicted, she’s a minister responsible for homelessness issues, and a landlord owning very expensive housing stock, who saw an opportunity to crank up her rents because circumstances had enabled her to clear our all her tenants. It’s still a very bad look.
One of the biggest reasons for effective homelessness (not living on the streets exactly but not having a permanent address) is the cost of housing which is in no small part being driven up by people buying to rent. So the fact that she even has rental properties in the first place is itself a problem.
She’s hardly going to vote to increase taxes on landlords if she herself is a landlord.

@floofloof it *is* a very bad look and now she’s resigned.
