#RightToHousing

2025-06-20

Freedom is not just about speaking your mind, it’s about having a roof over your head, access to healthcare, food on the table, and the ability to live with dignity. This article explores how South Africa enshrines these rights in its Constitution, where other nations succeed in fulfilling them, and how the United States, despite its claims of liberty, often falls short due to inequality, government negligence, and religious interference.

"‘Enkele dagen voor het begin van de feitelijke sloop ontving de gemeente een brief van een groep van vijf speciale rapporteurs van de Verenigde Naties. Zij zagen in sloop een mogelijke schending van mensenrechten – in dit geval: het recht op behoorlijke huisvesting – en discriminatie."

- I can’t even afford to charge my wheelchair. So how are people like me expected to afford the energy price rise? -

"Because of our extra needs, when energy bills go up disabled people are hit hardest.”

"I need to be able to charge my wheelchair so I can go out; and to keep my fridge on for lifesaving medicines that won’t work unless they are kept cold."

Nearly half of renters forced to move home without wanting to, report shows

“Though I’ve been in my new home for seven months now, I still can’t quite relax. I haven’t even unpacked properly,” she said.

“I’m worried that as soon as I do, I’m going to have to move again.

“I feel traumatised by what’s happened. It’s like I’m always in fight-or-flight.”

Weiner and Newsom gutted #CEQA instead of solving the problem of private unaffordable housing: luxury units with amenities that students say they don’t need and increasing pressure on the cost of other #student #housing in the #private #rental market. In many cases #studentdebt load is as much about housing costs as it is about #tuition.
