> Very basic housing should be free.
Please publish where you have developed and built all this free housing so that everyone that wants to live there can enjoy this right.

I am NOT saying we should build this free housing in one area and stick people there: (see the many failed public housing attempts) But there are more options available than everyone getting free housing in the bay area, CA.
I'm not sure why you think that; I never said that anywhere.

Cool, are you going to volunteer to leave your hometown and family to live in this free basic housing? Plenty of land in west Texas if you need space.
Ok, cool. Not what we're discussing though.
I understand it's a service paid for by society. I think it's great that you think that too! A service provided by society is not a right though. I'm all for creating a lot of affordable housing, as soon as we define what "basic" means, and agree to who will pay for it (likely us citizens through taxes) and what sort of requirements there will be to be allotted some of this "free" housing.
If we take "basic housing is a right" off the table and replace it with "as a wealthy society, we should levy taxes to provide housing to everyone that wants housing," that's something I can get behind.
Stop calling it free. Stop calling it a right. Then I'm on board
