Renter's rights -" housing is a human right" Gentrification

Do you all think Housing is a 'Human Right"

Like I deserve a house? 

Who will pay for it? Watch the video

A lot of Tenants rights groups are expanding.  I get it that there should be basic protections of health and safety and liveable standards.  I think we all don't like slumloarding but the Entitlement programs are getting ridiculous especially when you consider how hard we work for real estate property.  Don't property owners get some rights?

Tenant Ownership can be a powerful tool to create, preserve and improve affordable housing. It is also a means to create greater stability for low-income people, and an avenue for low-income people to generate equity and wealth for themselves and their families. Tenant owned and controlled housing enables low-income individuals and communities to benefit from development in our own neighborhoods and have greater control over the future of our communities. Communities of color can use tenant ownership to prevent displacement and gentrification.
