Problem with banning them outright, is where are all the people who can't afford to buy a house going to Live?
Sure, house prices might drop and some people might be able to buy. What about the rest?
Make them homeless?
Housing is a human right.
The only rights we have are the ones given by those in power to the weak. In this case, you say that housing is a human right. Someone with a pet would label you a monster for not including them. Do animals not have the right to housing?
Housing isn't a human right, it's civilization's privilege. Housing uses resources and knowledge to build. Its impact on the environment needs to be considered and whether its foundation can withstand nature's whims.
Wrong
The rest of what you had to say was pretty shit, too, but I'll save my time and stop there.
Went straight for that Trump meme I see. Says a lot about your opinion. But I'll entertain you enough to write this.
Let me keep things simple, so as you might be able to understand them. As a user on Lemmy, you have the rights extended to you by the owners of server you are on. Start claiming rights they don't agree with, you get banned temporarily or permanently. Extend this to the larger society and you'll find that rights are but mere dreams, nice to have, yet fleeting.
As for the rest, go ahead and build a house wherever you want, whenever you want, with whatever you want, all on your own. See how well that works out for you.
I mean I know my thoughts aren't all that great all the time, but that doesn't mean you have to upstage my dumbassery.
