The number of people renting before this was already hitting record numbers.
This shows how unintelligent we have become as a society.
"Do I want to invest in something for my future or my landlord's?" well, mortgages are scary, so I'll let Mr. Landlord worry about that and I'll pay the note for him.
Morons.

Good time to buy a house then or the complete opposite?
Wondering this too. I know nothing of this stuff. I don't want to take advantage of people's misfortune, but frick it's not my fault houses were too expensive when I finally got out of school and started working full time.

I don’t think you realize the point you’re making here. Nor do you address the more transient nature of our younger generations who are of home buying age.

Yes. People don't all work for one company in one town for 30 years anymore.

I am? I live and work in Nola. Was never going to be permanent. I just didn't see a point in buying a $400k home when I'm single and a fricking hurricane could come anytime and make it unliveable.

I agree 100%. When I got out of college, my goal was to save as much as I could towards a down payment. Did it in 2 years. People today don’t get it.

Mobility is certainly more important now than ever
I'm actually thinking of selling my house and renting for that very reason

Oversimplistic take leaving out all the nuance. Just what I come to the OT for.
Stupid poors just need to work harder and pull themselves up by their bootstraps like I did.

And we did it to ourselves.
Our citizens, in a blind panic, marched right to this cliff and threw themselves over, while telling the government “thank you”.

The fact that everyone decided on the wrong course of action does not justify it in any way.

If it saves one 85 year old with diabetes life.
You monster.
Owning a home is a privilege, being able to live in a nursing home until age 95 is a right.

My husband works for a loan servicer. He is working out our home currently. Nearly every call is related to forbearance. I asked him how often he dealt with these calls in the past. He said maybe 2 a month pre COVID, now it's about ten a day. We are in trouble as a nation
There’s probably a lot of people being proactive. If you can pause your mortgage payments without penalty, why wouldn’t you? Also, if it looks like you can’t pay your bills, who knows what kind of bailout might be available in the near future.

Waiters at say a high-end steak house pulling in $100K is pretty common in some cities. I know the ones at Capital Grille in Vegas kill it.
I made more money bartending at North River during law school than I make as an attorney.

It's not like there weren't a lot of bad operators in the nursing home sector, death rates from poor quality of care were well known. Doubt the virus has made a big impact that wasn't going to happen. Actually might lead to improved future care.

So, in other words we took a situation that was going to be bad, made it SIGNIFICANTLY worse, and it may end up having a housing crisis worse than 2007 piled on top of it.
Great.
Amazing.
Well done, everyone.
You did it.
Couldn’t have asked for a better job from our citizens and politicians.
Yep. The government sucks at everything. If this situation can’t convince you to go libertarian, nothing will.
