Capitalism - Yes to Human Rights… for those which can pay for it
The DNC is bullshit, but there are also 7 empty houses for every homeless person in this country.
This is a distribution issue. At a national level, at least.
Certain localities will be different.
So they admit that a government’s role is not to defend or protect human rights? What else would a government be for?
Increasing value for shareholders.
I can only assume Project 2029 was written by people who believe in a Democratic Party that doesn’t exist. No, they won’t provide housing. They’re controlled opposition.
Context please
Its up to the citizens to house themselves
The government just have to make it possible, such as by selling plots etc
There is no reason it has to be that way lmao. Why choose this?
Guaranteed housing is a policy that got implemented by a few states. Those states have consistently been the most successful states in terms of improving their people’s living standards.
A state that does not implement guaranteed housing is a state that decides to harm its people by forcing them to live on the streets.
Guaranteed “access” to housing. If you’re too poor, you just die in the street. (This is basically the model of Obamacare btw)
Chuds can’t think of a solution outside of the market.
How would it even work?
Government builds a house
Gives the keys to who?
The everyone else would think its unfair
Which countries do governments build houses, where a free market already exists? (And those houses arent for a select minority such as wheel chair users)

Pretend i’m speaking to you like you’re a child because i am
Remember when the reddit propaganda about China was they’re building ghost cities because of, idk, making their gdp look better or some nonsense? I’m sure you saw that and believed in it. Well, ten years later people live in those buildings now. They were planned housing built around high speed rail hubs so you can walk there and go to either beijing or shenzhen in like 2 hours. There’s a reason china is literally like the only place in the world where housing is affordable and the cost has gone down.
It literally happened right in front of your eyes but you believe it’s just impossible here. There’s even western dipshits crying about how this would affect the housing market- which is the real reason it WON’T happen here, not that it CAN’T. All the fucking landlords who’d get their lunch eaten if they had to compete with at-cost government rents and weren’t able to just charge whatever the fuck they want and increase rent every single year for no reason other than go fuck yourself
Anyway, if you still don’t get it feel free to eat shit
Which countries do governments build houses, where a free market already exists?
Most of them that have the capability? Never heard of social housing? Typical Amerikkkan brain.
Gives the keys to who?
To a person or family who can’t afford housing
The everyone else would think its unfair
Only sociopaths would think that, and they need to fuck off
Which countries do governments build houses, where a free market already exists?
Most developed countries already do this, it’s called “social housing”

Technically I believe the US does it as well. Just all funded so poorly they hit a very negligible portion of the people that need it.
Indeed
People who cannot afford housing is a minority
so if it’s a minority (big if), we should just say fuck them? they cant afford housing but people who already have a house (or two…) might be upset that there are fewer homeless people, so let’s not do anything at all.
you’re a monster.
I didnt say let them rot in the street. Thats your go-to interpretation.
There are other solutions, you narrow minded fool
what are those then? those magical market based solutions that’ll definitely work.
other solutions
Such as provide them a place to live? Or are you thinking of a different kind of solution?
You are suggesting they are denied housing. What other ‘solutions’ are there other than to force them to live on the streets?
People who cannot afford housing is a minority
What? Are you living in the 80s??
Reeducation camps won’t be necessary. They will be mandatory for people like you.
Citizens can apply for housing similar to applying for an apartment, just publicly run and funded rather than for profit. Social housing already exists.
If it’s entirely up to us to provide human rights to ourselves, and the huge proportion of people who can’t do that and therefore don’t have a supposed human right are brushed off as personal failures rather than systemic, then sure seems like human rights don’t actually mean anything.
That’s what the kinds of people who say insane things like “everyone should secure their own human rights” want. For human rights to mean nothing so no one will slow down their quest for unearned income. The fact that the people saying it the loudest are also the people who never have and never will own any capital to use to rent-seek is one of Capitalism’s greatest ironies.
