I would argue that buying a house does give you the inalienable right to live there forever (if you so choose). Anything else is basically the elimination of the concept of private property.
Kicking people out of their houses is not a sign of a healthy society.
- tmh79 7y agoso you support rent control below CPI?
- malvosenior 7y agoNo. I don't think the government should be manipulating the housing market directly like that. I do think it should invest more in building low income houses and that zoning should mix incomes though. I think that would make for a healthier environment for everyone.
- rcpt 7y agoYou're confusing the "fee simple" notion of land tenure that we have in the United States with "allodial title" which doesn't happen anywhere anymore because it turns out that's a terrible way to run a society.
- malvosenior 7y agoI'm not confusing anything, you just don't agree with my position.
- rcpt 7y ago> buying a house does give you the inalienable right to live there forever (if you so choose) That's simply not how it works in the United States. The government here is allowed to levy taxes on you for fencing off a portion of our land from other citizens.
