We don't need a rent/mortgage freeze, we need a rent/mortgage cancellation. It is unrealistic to freeze rent/mortgages & expect owners to take loans or like tenants to expect them to pay 1-3 months or however long they "freeze" them on top of resumed rents/mortgages
Even if you give folks 3 months to a year, most folks will be facing a new reality, recovering physically, financially, mentally and spiritually. To expect folks to afford back rent when most were living paycheck to paycheck and now unable to work, it's inhumane.
It is also inhumane of landlords/building owners to charge tenants if their mortgages are frozen and if they are cancelled. We are all in a very precarious situation, our lives are at stake but so is our humanity.
We need to remember that we are all in this together and we have a choice, we can choose to put profit over lives or for once in our history, we can choose a different path and work together to do what is best for each other, to do what is right.
The government only has what power we, the people, allow them to have over the way we treat one another, they only have what power we allow them to have. We can take it back & change our course instead of mindlessly following them down a path that only serves to benefit them.
