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.

A sizable slice of those are people who believe in the "Prosperity Doctrine" or Right-wing Christianity, or the people like Oprah who believe in "Attraction Theory" and that mere thoughts and positive energy shape reality.
So, they think that as "good people" who give out positive thoughts, they will never be without a home. They also tend to believe the same foolishness about things like cancer, and are astounded when they get a diagnosis and face surgery, chemo, or death
