Comment on When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords?

I have read your comment more than a few times, trying to respond in good faith, but I am uncertain so I am going to ask before responding:

Are you arguing from a position that housing IS a human right but not related at all to property rights, and the government needs to make housing affordable enough to everyone.

-OR-

Are you arguing from a position that housing is NOT a human right, BUT “the rent is too damn high” and the government needs to fix it?

There is a lot of what you have to say that I think I agree with, but I keep reading your comment and I am not sure.

I think housing is a human right but homeownership has nothing to do with it. Governmental intervention or renters organizing or both is required to secure the right.
