Is somebody here really asking us to have empathy for apartment building owners?
How will they ever survive?

As I commented elsewhere to a self-professed “libertarian”

It’s hard for the economically illiterate to understand but if you help people pay their rent, that helps the person they’re paying the rent to. That’s why stimulus helps the economy but austerity never does.

Very simple - helping the rent get paid - and preventing evictions - is the only way to have empathy for the owners.
