Big picture, there will be as many housing units and as many people in 2021 as in 2019. Landlord won't evict people, unless they know they can get new, better tenants. So, if 2020 made us poorer, I'd expect lowered rents rather than fewer people housed.

Uhhhh have you ever met a landlord?

Also I have never seen rents fall in my lifetime. I’ve seen rates of growth slow, but never seen prices actually drop.

Prepended this with a more informative title. This is an aggregate newsletter which I think is helpful if you're in the property management / real estate business. Hopefully this new title is a bit more informative, apologies for any misleading

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> Thankfully the government is also printing money so real asset prices will only rise. Will be able to make up for lost rent quickly as prices rise Could you elaborate on this? I don’t follow

Landlords will have increased equity in their buildings which will offset any rent arrears so will continue to enjoy the government supported risk-free rental income as they always have Tenants will likely be shafted

Increased equity doesn't pay the mortgage. So they have to sell to realize that 'increase' to offset their rent losses. Everybody sells - prices go down - landlords lose out as well.

Nobody is winning here.

You should 1) follow submission guidelines as to providing original links and 2) not aggressively promote your own domains and projects.
