I suspect that the entire purpose of the eviction ban was to eventually force the landlords to sell their property at below market value to get out from the debt created by no income coming while having to still pay the mortgage, taxes, and maintenance.
I see something similar in California’s central valley where the government restricts water and increases regulations making farming unprofitable.
Our government has become money making business for the elite.
All by design. The Feral government has become a monster that operates for the benefit of the wealthy and those with political power. Small businesses and individuals are of no consequence whatsoever to the leviathan. You exist merely to support the state. If you do not support the state, it will send its agents to kill and enslave you.
“I suspect that the entire purpose of the eviction ban was to eventually force the landlords to sell their property at below market...”
The only purpose is vote buying and they don’t care if landlords (who are less likely to vote Dem anyway) get hurt.
