i seriously doubt that anyone who says "housing is a human right" is saying "not here". NIMBY's don't believe that. And YIMBY's that whine and bloviate over building housing for the top end of the market but it's ok because there are 5 tax abated low-income apartments (btw those tax abatements expire and those apartments become market rate after like 10 years most of the time) are just as bad.

the "housing is a human right" crowd generally propose building more public housing, and expropriating buildings from landlords (happened in the 70s, creating HDFC co-ops, probably the only actually affordable middle class housing in nyc outside of, idk, co-op city or stuytown's regulated apartments).

like, what do you think is better, man? no right to an attorney and you can't get one? vs. a right to an attorney and you eventually will, you're just fucked in the mean time? come on, what is this bullshit post, you think people would be better off without their legal rights even if they can't use them instantly?
