C’mon. There’s oodles of space in the US… we can probably have way more people than 330m and them still live comfortably (in terms of living space).

This is true now and we don't need a government guarantee of housing to make that happen. What I don't like is people who want to live in a specific place they would like to live, and wanting subsidies from others so that they can live there at below-market prices.

Right, so I am interested in determining how space is allocated under a system with a “right to housing”.

Do you apply to the federal government and get sent to where it is cheapest for the feds? Do you get preference for a certain region if your ancestors and relatives are more numerous there?
