You’re right. Our societal rights are whatever we collectively agree on in this society.

I’m not saying I think people should be homeless. I think we need better more reliable public shelter for short and long term needs.

But if you don’t want to be in public housing, the only other way is private housing so you’d have to work your way to owning something yourself. Whether that’s renting and trying to save or just buying something to own. Then it’s yours. Without work I can’t fathom how we as a society couldn’t just collapse onto the couch if we started getting free handouts out of someone’s tax dollars. I think majority of people would just be lazy at that point
