I'm pretty sure the townhouse they're talking about is a second income property. And the lady with 27 units that claims to make $24k/year is ignoring the equity building in her properties. If she ends up with $2 million of property after 20 years she's ignoring $100k/year.

Lots of business owners, farmers, landlords, etc. give the same sob story and conveniently forget they're going to end up with multi-million dollar properties, farms, businesses by the time they retire.

I can see how it's tough with no cash flow right now, but how is that any different than your mom ending up unemployed? Excluding the current situation, no one cares about normal people losing their jobs, but now that the business / landlord class is in a negative cashflow situation we should all be thinking of them.
