Socialists and communists believe the world owes them all the free stuff they would ever desire.
Also, the prohibition on evictions is helping keep rents inflated. Once people start moving around the place rents will have to fall to acknowledge the lack of money available.
Kind of comical. "OK, everyone get out of the houses!" <rents fall> "OK, you can move back in at a lower rent."
In practice most people wouldn't actually get kicked out. Landlords would see the crashing rents and renegotiate. That renegotiation/market correction has been stymied for over a year and now there's going to be an absolute disaster of housing insecurity.
