All the restaurants and bars of California and New York are closing or are closed and all the people that work there are hourly wage. How how long do you think they will still have homes? Not trying to be alarmist but I also don’t see how people making an hourly wage are going to continue living in their very expensive states without income.



Unless the government backstops it, they won't. It is and will be a huge problem.

Some states are banning evictions for a few months, so at least there is that option. But it just means they'll be homeless in June instead of April.


Most NYC landlords have agreed to a 90-day hold on all evictions. So... about 90 days I guess.
