I mean I agree, you're missing my point. > You can live outside in a tent or under a couple of moving boxes. Not legally in a lot of places you can't! The point I'm making is that while we need (and should have as a right) many good things, the need to have a home is a particularly special one because locations are in fixed supply, and not even for one minute can you opt out of existing in a location, and every location that people want to exist in is currently owned by somebody, most of whom aren't interested in sharing. And wouldn't you know it? Locations that have steady access to all that other good stuff (education, healthcare, bunch of other stuff) tend to be way more expensive than other locations, precisely because they gatekeep access to them.
