Housing is a Basic Human Right

The UN Special Rapponteur Raquel Rolnik: Housing is a basic Human Right

@SydneyHomeless say: if the Right to adequate Housing is a basic human right then that right should not be "subject to the whims" of economic interests. Where,as in Australia, Housing is a commodity it is inevitable that housing will be unaffordable for at least a part of the community. For that part of the community which lives without housing, whether by choice or circumstance an extension of that basic human right is the right to erect and maintain shelter on non-private property.
