&gt; IF the government says I can't go to work, then the government better make damn sure I'm taken care of during that time period.

State enforced licensing does this everywhere. 
  
The issue is that the property owner has contractual obligations to honor as well. 
   
It's telling that the anti-landlord types only ever think about themselves, never the long and complex set of agreements surrounding their situation. 
   
In these each party has the wants/needs just like the precious renter. 
   
All the renter has to do is label those others with some denigrating term and all ethical and contractual concerns disappear.

State enforced licensing? Are you talking about things like plumbing, law, and other occupational licenses or specific landlord licensings?

I'm not anti-landlord. I do understand the sentiment of "the government is forcing me to not go to work. I'm not making money, and therefore cannot afford basic necessities. Government needs to fix this."

Since lifting those work restrictions was apparently a non-option to the government, the next best thing is to pay for the basic necessities people couldn't afford. Not saying I agree with how things were handled, but that was what happened.
