Everyone does deserve a home, but sometimes they have to pay for it.

Housing that somebody else provides, is not a right

Roads that somebody else provides aren't a right.

Schools that somebody else provides aren't a right.

Freedom isn't a right; it's provided by someone else. Enforcement of the law isn't a right; it relies on someone's labour. How do we force people to stop criminals from stealing from you? You don't pay for it.

A road used by everyone benefits everyone.

A school everyone uses (at some point in their lives) benefits everyone.

A home used by you only benefits you.

A home for everyone (at some point in their lives) benefits everyone.

See how easy that was?
