The people who don’t view housing as a human right are those who believe they will always have housing.

They can’t fathom becoming disabled, losing their savings or their support network.

They can’t comprehend having everything ripped away from them.

They think they’re the exception.

They’re not.

People don’t plan for homelessness or disability.

It just takes one accident, illness or stroke of bad luck.

We all need and deserve a safety net.

@sr_antwerp In case you've missed it there are homeless people in Europe too. The safety nets over here have plenty of holes too unfortunately, it's pretty well reported (it can also be extremely different from one European country to another). Everything @broadwaybabyto said is relevant all across the globe.

@seq @sr_antwerp @broadwaybabyto Yeah, unfortunately i know many (disabled / unemployed) people in European countries like Finland or Germany, you'd think are welfare states, being homeless or on the edge of it. I agree, everything they said is relevant here too.

@sr_antwerp @broadwaybabyto You can get unhoused in Europe, too. Especially in the cities. Once you have lost your job, you are also loosing your home because the law thinks your home is too big. And the fucking riches only rent to each other. You won’t easily find a landlord who rents to the Jobcenter.

@sr_antwerp @broadwaybabyto I’m too poor from living in the US to move to Europe.
