I'm happy to hear this I hate to think of how hard it would have been for small landlords trying to recover it...

The state's $5.2 billion in funds from Congressionally-approved aid packages is enough to pay off overdue rent, according to Newsom's senior counselor on housing and homelessness, Jason Elliott, the Associated Press reported. However, just $32 million out of $490 million in requests for rental assistance through May 31 have been covered so far, according to a California Department Housing and Community Development report.

I like living in a place that helps business and the little guy. And not kicking poor people off unemployment insurance to force them to crappy low-wage jobs.

It's not helping small business when you have overblown panic and force the mom and pop shops to close, while the Amazon "Fulfillment centers" are now going full blast, day, swing and graveyard shifts. Nor is it helping a little guy when you take away his entry level job.

Statements like this are just SO telling. "It's better to be a bum than to work".

Q: How many of these people were already at those kinds of jobs before the panic hit?
A: Just about all of them, if you had a shred of honesty.

And now that the panic is winding down, the Left wants them to remain unemployed and state handout dependent, while they import a larger lumpenproletariat which effectively act as a reverse minimum wage, especially in the construction and building trades.

If you think that Newsweek is right wing propaganda, I'd sure like to know what you would consider to be a leftist source.

Yep. Isn't it great with how much money a Governor is willing to dish out when he is the subject of a Recall.

I presume that the obscenely wealthy Hollywood elites are footing the bill and not the middle-class taxpayer. Since California does not generate income.
