re: NYC Rental Market Pushed to Breaking Point by Covid shutdown

everyone else in the house have all lost their restaurant jobs and she’s the only one still working—at a company making hand sanitizer.

Let me do some quick math, so 4 of the 5 members of the house are unemployed and could be collecting unemployment at up-to 1104 dollars each person weekly (504 NY max + 600 fed bonus), that is over 5,500 a week, and 22,000 a month they could have collected in unemployment, besides her crappy hand sanitizer job. That is almost 88,000 for April, May, June, and July.

In reality there is no problem, they could have caught up with the rent payments as they were getting those fat unemployment checks.

Where did this cash go towards?

Some people including me can do some really stupid things with their money.
