All other expenses go in the bushes in an emergency in my book.. To me, nothing is more important than food and housing..
Car notes
hospital bills
cable bills
college loans
etc..

They all got to wait.. If I got unemployment and stimulus money, my housing is 1st on the agenda..


Facts. Roof , food and running water . You can even make it without the lights if you really really had to in the right area

It is bad but you can not expect landlords to not get paid and still have to pay for their mortgage and other things with no gov help. Other countries had a moratorium on mortgage payments, not sure why it was not done here.
There was a ton of government help for landlords to cover missed rent AND for their mortgages.

The outcome is still going to be the same regardless of which party is/was in office. It was only going to be so long that the rent moratorium could be in place without having to come up with a long term solution to the problem.
Not exactly "the same" since the additional stimulus / unemployment extension wouldn't have been passed so people in danger of eviction would be even further fukked right now.

People are still fukked right now anyways as a lot of them are going to probably end up being evicted regardless of when the moratorium ends. The government isn't going to be able to help offset all the backpay that tenants owe.

Same goes for the tenants, yet millions of them are now at risk of getting evicted once the moratorium ends.
The amount of money available at the bottom end of the economy, even with stimulus, was obviously much less for many people than it would have been without the pandemic. There was zero chance that additional people were going to be in danger of eviction. You gotta be blind if you don't see that.

And I was responding to the claim that landlords had no help from the government during the pandemic. That was simply a false claim.

"All" the backpay? No. But depending on state there are many programs to offset as much as 70-80% of it. Enough for the landlords to easily work out a deal and still keep eating fine themselves if they actually care enough about tenants to not just want to fukk them over out of general principle.
