There are no positive natural human rights, only the negative ones (rights to be free from violence, including bodily autonomy, freedom of speech, rights to keep property etc). There are no rights that have to be provided by others for free. If I need my own place to live, I am expected to earn money to rent or buy it; I can’t expect anybody to give me this for free, there is no “basic human right” for me to be kept under a roof.
Having said that, I am of course all for making housing more cheaper, and for disrupting the market in general, up to and including stopping the appreciation cycle. If you sell a used car, you will get less money than for a new car; the same should go for housing. The only thing preventing this are policies biased for existing homeowners; these are unnatural and should be repealed.
