1/ Software engineering is my career expertise, not banking. But, let me know if I’m missing something.

The oversimplified theory behind a bank’s value to a community is they lend money for an asset like building a house. It appreciates and more wealth is eventually created.
2/ It seems obvious we should pause rent for coronavirus. And since many landlords are normal people who own a building, it makes sense to me we should pause mortgage payments as well.

What’s the downside to the bank? Doesn’t stability help their core mission of creating wealth?
3/ I just don’t see how in the long view the nation pausing mortgages hurts the banks.

It seems like if anyone can do some sacrificing, it can be a spreadsheet waiting a few more months for a loan to get paid off.

But please help me understand if I’m missing something.
