| "rights" are burdens on others. Why should I be forced to pay for someone else's house? How would you force the tenent to maintain it? How would you control them to maintain the peace? The homeless in my family are so because they are too dangerous to have in any of our homes, and apparently that's a fairly common theme. As a social "right", it must be available to all, not just those down on their luck, or whatever virtue is appreciated by the ruling class. Of course, there may be some places where government housing projects worked splendidly and economically efficiently, but that is surely the exception. Edit: You can find other negative consequences of government-built housing, but I will leave with https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grenfell_Tower_fire and the chilling story near the beginning of _The Fifth Discipline_ |
