I don't think we are in disagreement actually. I am for pausing rent payments during the crisis (during the entire crisis even, not just the three months or so that the government seemed to have been for). The author seemed to say to me that because it's apparently no big deal to pause evictions during a pandemic (i.e. the world didn't end), that evictions are bullshit outside of pandemics as well. I would argue that it makes perfect sense to pause evictions during this extraordinary time, but evictions are still a necessary function during a normal economy.
