This reminds me of the saying "The road to hell is paved with good intentions". This sets such a dangerous precedent. Next time something like this happens no one is going to pay rent. If they don't compensate the people who made incredible sacrifices to pay their rent (selling everything they had, borrowing from family and friends, using every last penny of savings), it will be a tragic.

You couldn't predict what happened this time; don't expect to fair any better next time. Much like everyone who was expecting a repeat of housing prices from 2008 sat around for a decade watching the opposite happen.
