The idea that housing is not a human right is rooted in many different ideologies that compete for criminal supremacy. In times past, being dispossessed of your housing has come as part of a political purge of opponents.
Today, in our time, it’s more likely a part of a crime. It could be first or last in the order of priorities, but most crime gangs work it into their overall effort.
The fact is housing is not just a human right but it’s a national security issue. In a very real way, if we lose our housing we lose our country. This is the stark warning on a larger scale, but it’s true in contexts closer to home.
