I have a sense of overdramatization here. Nobody is holding anyone at gunpoint, we just want to have a safer future with regards to our basic needs. Let's agree that there is a cost to building a house and someone has to pay for it, that's fair. What's not fair is making more and more, larger and larger luxury homes, turning other into AirBnBs and even keeping some empty (since it's "an investment") effectively making it harder for common people to have a place to live. I don't want to be scared that if I get sick for a week I won't be able to pay my rent and will have to move... who knows where. I know there are people living in such fear while a multitude of homes stay empty. In principle this boils down to private property rights and conservative way of thinking about society vs. making policies that would drive the standard of living up starting from the ones most in need. Both approaches are valid, they differ in the amount of suffering for the bottom 50%.
