The thread I started a few months ago, about how all the "rental assistance programs," and "forebearance" on both rent and house mortgage payments would ALL run out at the end of the year, and be in full collapse mode by spring, Valentine's Day to Easter time frame.
Lo and behold we are on time, on target and on schedule for MILLIONS of people being evicted from their rental units, and/or houses, condos, etc starting on January 1st 2021 to March 31st. Further, the ECONOMIC DEVASTATION DONE TO LANDLORDS, corporate property owners and managers, small, medium and large property owners, renters from everything from malls, to houses, trailer parks, and a long list of other commercial business and private property. All of them have had their property rights GUTTED by the CDC emergency order banning evictions up to 12-31-2020. Finally, they have had done to them, in my opinion, what the US Constitution called an "illegal taking," by the government.
Sure, the "system" was protected since multiple millions of renters and home owners weren't kicked out from March to December. My apartment manager told me they haven't evicted anybody this year. People have moved out, and their vacant units are not renting well.
Of course, in ALL the discourse about eviction protection, etc nothing is said about the dangerous economic situation for property owners, who, in some cases have had a total collapse in their revenue payments for most of 2020.
At any rate, on top of the looming civil war 2, and chaos, etc etc we have the imminent creation of a refugee crisis of bigly shape. And yes, the "government" could absorb all past due rents and mortgages, or they could just extend it and let the landlords collapse. Classic marxist doctrine is you let landlords go broke, and then you shoot them. AOC might introduce a bill to do just that.

America’s Pride In The Economy Is About To Be Greatly Shaken As Tens Of Millions Face Eviction In 2021
November 29, 2020 by Michael Snyder
Unless there is emergency intervention, tens of millions of Americans could be facing eviction once the holiday season is over. We kicked the can down the road throughout 2020, but all of the rent that was originally owed to landlords all over the country is still due, and they are very eager to collect. Countless landlords are on the verge of financial ruin because of the rent moratoriums which were put in place, and kicking the can down the road even more would be absolutely disastrous for them. Of course it would also be absolutely disastrous if the moratoriums are not extended, because in some states more than half of all households are behind on their rent or mortgage payments, and most of them have no way to pay.
One way or the other, we are about to hit a breaking point. The Aspen Institute is telling us that a whopping 40 million people “could face eviction over the next several months”…
If they get evicted, where are they going to go?
Into the streets?
Vox recently interviewed a 48-year-old Texas resident named “Kimberly”, and she says that is exactly where she is headed if she gets evicted…

That is about 12 percent of the entire country.According to research by the Aspen Institute, nearly 40 million Americans could face eviction over the next several months. The only thing holding back the flood right now is the CDC’s eviction moratorium order and a patchwork of state and local protections for renters.
But these moratoriums are only kicking the can down the road. Chief economist for Moody’s Analytics Mark Zandi told the Washington Post that tenants could owe nearly $70 billion in back rent by year’s end. And for landlords left holding the bag, there’s been little relief, as they’ve been forced to take on the role of government — subsidizing housing for millions even as their own taxes, mortgage payments, and other expenses are due.
If they get evicted, where are they going to go?

And there are countless others out there that are just like her.But after Covid-19 hit, she lost hours at her job as a crew trainer at Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers and found herself on the brink of financial collapse. She fell behind on her rent and when she tried to work with her landlord to set up a repayment plan, she told Vox that she was served an eviction notice. Now, the only thing keeping her in her home is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) national eviction moratorium, which prohibits landlords from evicting qualifying tenants for failing to make rent.
If she’s evicted, Kimberly says she has nowhere to go — and will be homeless for the second time in five years.
According to Zero Hedge, “at least half of households in Arkansas, Florida and Nevada are not current on rent and mortgage payments”.
We have never seen anything like this in modern American history, and the new lockdowns that are being instituted across the nation will just make things even worse.
Of course there are many Americans that will be able to move in with family, and this has already been happening in very large numbers. In particular, young people are moving back in with their parents on a massive scale. According to the Pew Research Center, “a majority of young adults in the U.S. live with their parents for the first time since the Great Depression”.
The phrase “since the Great Depression” has been popping up a lot lately, hasn’t it?
That is because this is literally the first economic depression that the U.S. has experienced since that time.
Everywhere we look, we can see the sort of economic devastation that I have been warning was coming for a very long time.
In New Jersey, approximately one-third of all small businesses “have closed down in 2020”…
New Jersey’s number is higher than the national average, but not by very much.A third of small businesses in New Jersey have closed down in 2020, according to a report from The Star-Ledger newspaper.
“It’s really bad… And without federal dollars coming into New Jersey, the Main Street stores and other establishments are not gonna make it through the winter.” said Eileen Kean, the state director of the National Federation of Independent Business.
Of course Atlantic City has been hit particularly hard because it is so dependent on tourism. At this point, it is being called “the city without a pulse”…
