For people who actually are means tested and REALLY CAN'T pay their rent due to "pandemic" bullshit... okay... but I happen to know a lot of renters are trying to pull a fast one and just not pay, even though they can. Furthermore, this happens on the mortgage side too... people "deferring" and pocketing.

What these retards who think this is a good idea by the government fail to realize is that the housing shortage is just going to get worse as landlords will refuse to rent properties and just keep them vacant similar to areas with rent control.
It is also going to drive up the cost to buy a house and inflate home prices.
Sure, there will be massive foreclosures, but unlike 2008 they will be privately bought out by investors/developers and regular folks are only goingto get a chance to buy really shitty foreclosures.
Those that don't own now will likely never be able to own.
