So let’s game out what this could look like. If the US instituted housing as a right, there would be a constitutional push to provide a minimum of housing for all citizens. The approach would be of concern on this. Would it be a Medicare type of push or private healthcare type of push. If a public service, there would be minimal standards for housing and the purchasing of land along with possibly some eminent domain to provide housing of decent standards and in appropriate proximity to places where people want and need to be. If this is done via private enterprise with public money, we end up with a single 10x10 room in the middle of the desert and shared bathroom across 50 residents and possibly double ply cardboard for walls. I guarantee that if this is done as a public/private partnership that the private prison industry makes a proposal that is super cost effective to provide housing to large segments of unhoused Americans. We need both housing as a right and for it to be handled not terribly.
LOL that’s my bad man. I was browsing All and didn’t realize this was an Australian subscription…we have the same issues here in the USA so I didn’t even think to check and just assumed it was a US group as non US tends to be in a different language. Apologies.
Yes lol, almost every country has the resources and labor power to provide housing for every single citizen
