most people agree with the idea that everyone deserves a place to live but their support for this starts waning when you say everyone deserves a comfortable place to live. and by comfortable i mean an adequately sized home that’s safe. not somewhere that has a constant infestation or the water isn’t safe to drink or you have to bundle up under a million jackets and blankets bc you can’t afford heat during the winter or you sleep 5 to a room and 2 to a bed bc bigger places cost more than you can pay. all of this should NOT be a problem
people think “why should they get this for free when i work hard for it” like that’s the point !! you SHOULDN’T have to work hard for it. everyone deserves a comfortable and safe place to live period. regardless of who they are, what they do or don’t do, whether or not you like them, or if they have a job. bc the second you start saying “except for x people” it always comes back marginalized people and “x people” aren’t the ones suffering
