    It’s not a Privilege anymore, we have more than enough to provide housing for all in developed countries

      Have you ever heard about the housing crisis? The UK for example has a 4.3 million homes deficit. That’s 6.3% of the population if you want to give everyone a house. But if accounting for families of at least two people, then it’s more like 12.6% of the population without homes.

      The situation is very similar in most developed countries, especially in Europe. Countries like Italy and Poland have severe overcrowding, 35% of Poles don’t have enough living space (meaning they live in house shares and only have one room to themselves).

      So yeah, it is a privilege. Always was. And as the worldwide population grows, housing will only become even more scarce as land is a finite resource.

        Thats already where the intention starts, I never specified there are enough homes, for a reason. Not enough homes existing is just to create an artificial crisis
