This is a great movement Peter. I hope it can get momentum. Residential housing needs to be removed from the commodity market. It is a human right and, yes, I know, there are some who seek to commodify those too. They know the price of everything and the value of nothing.
I give it not a chance...sadly - though I'd like to be proven wrong! I spent many years homeless and again face that ignoble reality in the near future....with homes I'd love to live in aplenty empty....but the system is built by the rich, for the rich, and to keep those who have 'fallen' or never having 'become of the annointed' from having even the basics of life.....Capitalism is in my opinion an evil system of the domanance paradigm. It benefits less than 5% - really about 1%, but uses propaganda and bread and circus to convince all too many that they are happy and self-realized in their happiness. Ha!
