NO, YOU DO NOT HAVE A ‘RIGHT’ TO HOUSING

Read the Universal Declaration of Human Rights! 

Here’s the relevant section

      Article 25        Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.

So yes, you do have a right to an adequate standard of living, and clearly that is NOT adequate for most youngsters to acquire a house. 

The rights-based solution, therefore, could be to increase the wages (living standards) of those under the age of 40,

OR should it be that

THE GOVERNMENT MUST ACT TO BRING DOWN HOUSE PRICES?

Our rulers have fulfilled their obligations for affordable food and clothing. Thanks to our wonderful socialist NHS, the universal right to medical care is covered.

But the cost of housing has been allowed to soar. This violates the basic human rights of most youngsters. It was careless governments which allowed this to happen, mainly by letting the banks print our money and lend incontinently, mainly on mortgages, based on the land-asset under our houses.

GOVERNMENT HAS AN OBLIGATION TO REIN IN THIS HOUSE-PRICE BUBBLE

IT’S A HUMAN RIGHTS ISSUE!
