What about the common defense?Sure. You have that right. But you have no right to force other people to provide you with housing.

Should they also legislate an actual right to work in Right to Work States?Sure, you have the right to purchase any house you'd like.
Nope.They are abolishing private property, moron.
Rental costs are exploding around the country - 30%, 40%, 50%.You are correct. My advice to you is to sell at a high price, the new owners will occupy it. Rentals will become a thing of the past. I have been a landlord and I know the deck is stacked against owners in favor of deadbeat tenants. It is unfortunate, but a few deadbeats are going to ruin it for responsible renters.
It is housing, is it not? There is NOTHING in our founding documents that guarantees you housing. The guarantee is to provide you with opportunity and security which this country has always and continues to do. The government is not your parents nor do they have any parental responsibilities.Not a BASIC human right.
Also, likely major cooties.
Rent control's a disaster that actually drives rent UP in most markets for uncontrolled units (see NYC), but housing IS a BASIC human right.You may want to look-up neighborhoods that have rent control.
Nah. It's really not. It'll be ok.Rental costs are exploding around the country - 30%, 40%, 50%.
Good people can't afford to live indoors anymore.
This is a MASSIVE crisis.
Where was this concern when the democrats forced eviction moratoriums on landlords when the deadbeat tenants used the scamdemic to quit paying their rent? Those rental owners are people with rights and responsibilities too. They have to pay mortgages, taxes, insurance whether or not the deadbeats pay. After a year and a half of no rent, they should be able to recoup their losses. Personal responsibility is something that has died in the US. There is no free lunch--oops, I guess there is now and breakfast too. SMH.Rental costs are exploding around the country - 30%, 40%, 50%.

The country is facing multiple major housing crises:That is nonsense. The value of anything is what the market will bear.
Housing: A BASIC human right.I believe the apartment is worth whatever the highest bidder is willing to pay. If you can't or don't want to pay that price----there's the door. Go find someone who will rent to you for what you want to pay. The world doesn't owe you anything.
It's complicated...Mixed emotions on this.
Bad argument.I'm much more reasonable. I just want an iron gate, swimming pool and heated Jacuzzi. Ringel can have his moat and draw bridge.
The Seattle area is one of many where good people - nurses, teachers, caregivers, parents - can no longer afford rents skyrocketing by 30% to 50% even in places like Bellingham.Except that is not how economics work.
If they are able to charge 1500 a month then that is what the property is worth. If you don't like the value proposition, don't rent the fucking house.
Homes in Seattle go for thousands of dollars a month for a shitty run down <1000 sq foot home. That is a crap value for me so I chose not to live there. 30 minuets away you can get a 2500 sq ft home for less than 2000 a month. A little further out and you are even better off. No one forces you to live in a specific location, you CHOSE that location.
If you work for it, purchase it and pay taxes on it, you damn sure should be able to expect it. What do you drive? No one can reasonably demand or expect to drive one of those. Don't you see how STUPID that is?Bad argument.
No one can reasonably demand or expect a castle.
The answer to that is MOVE. No one is forcing you to stay in those high rent districts. If you move to Cle Elum or Wenatchee you can find housing that is reasonably priced.The Seattle area is one of many where good people - nurses, teachers, caregivers, parents - can no longer afford rents skyrocketing by 30% to 50% even in places like Bellingham.
The "move further away" argument no longer works.
The ENTIRE COUNTRY is facing an affordable housing crisis.

The employers of those areas bear responsibility. If they are not paying wages that allow for housing, then they should, granted. Many employers when faced with similar circumstances have purchased housing to provide for their employees similar to what the military has always done and most colleges do. The government, my tax dollars have no responsibility to provide housing.The Seattle area is one of many where good people - nurses, teachers, caregivers, parents
