Warren introduces nationwide eviction moratorium bill
The coronavirus is exposing America’s housing crisis. Democrats in Congress are proposing a nationwide eviction moratorium.

Colorado, like many other states and cities, implemented a temporary eviction moratorium in March, to prevent people from losing their homes during the coronavirus pandemic.
But the state’s moratorium expired on June 13, though Gov. Jared Polis issued a last-minute emergency order that required landlords to give tenants more notice about any evictions, effectively delaying many evictions for another 30 days. It was a reprieve, but a temporary and incomplete one.
Oregon's Governor Brown has extended it to September 30th as have other states, but it will eventually run out and then what?
I have been saying that the original rental, and house "fore bearance payment" laws were Trojan Horses that were meant to not defer bills due, but to forgive them. And lo and behold here we have the Senator form Massachusetts, Elizabeth Warren now introducing a Senate Bill that will impose a NATIONWIDE BAN ON ALL EVICTIONS. Stop and ponder this for a moment. She wants to make it ILLEGAL to evict anybody, for any reason, anywhere in the entire CONUS.
It just doesn't get any more MARXIST THAN THAT. At any rate, the next step, and the only logical step is for a PERMANENT forebearance bill. After all, if you give rent and mortgage payment relief, extend it for additional months, and then make it ILLEGAL to evict anybody for any reason, well then come September/ November why not just make it all permanent, and evict nobody, pay everybody's rent or house payment, and then go to the UBI and be done with it.
The where the money comes from, or who pays the rent and home payments for TENS OF MILLIONS OF LONG TERM PERMANENT UNEMPLOYED. Again, the ancient Romans had words for this: Roman Mob, Bread and Circus, and the like. Warren didn't even wait till the end of June to start paying rent etc for the next six months. We all know that once this gets locked in, all hell will break loose.
We should all factor in the simple fact the Yelp site estimates that some 40% of restaurants are already PERMANENTLY CLOSED and will NEVER REOPEN, along with all the employees and support people that entails. So, where do they get the money to pay the rent, or buy food when the unemployment runs out, or the food stamps, and hitting close to home for me on that one. A permanent class of unemployed and that is all there is to it.
