No, "socialism" is the bait to sell the communism hook. Capitalism is the exact opposite of communism.

Don’t know why this thread was resurrected, but I’ll keep it simple. Rights do not rely on other people doing things for you.
No one has a “right” to a portion of anyone else’s life or labor. Demanding somebody give something freely is tyranny, and not a right.

The right to defend one's person is, and always has been, treated as fundamental to a self-governing/sovereign people. If you don't understand that, or know how, when and where those ideas were codified, then you are simply UNEDUCATED.

I literally sent you 2 or 3 replies regarding "homelessness". It is a choice. You can do drugs or you can own a home. You can't do both. If you want both, go to California where they give you free cell phones, give you $620/month, give you a tent, and let you abuse as many drugs as you want free of criminal conviction. Then tell me there is a "homeless problem". The only problem is liberals.

If something could be done about some homelessness, it couldn't involve government because they mess up everything.
So what would you consider affordable housing?
And would it be temporary, such as a 6-month period or so that a person could take advantage of while getting on their feet?

He didn't attack you. He asked a thought provoking question. I recommend you read it again, carefully, and posit a response.
However, you do you. I'm not in the habit of making anyone do anything.

You may need to defend yourself from a tyrannicwl government, but that same potentially tyrannical government does not need to act as a parent and save you from your lazy self.
That said, ever hear of Section 8, or Govt subsidized housing?... Housing projects?
GTFO with your handout crap... actual working people already tax fund almost half the population in some way...it already exists.

Others have given good answers to your question but my question to you is who determines what “affordable” is? What metrics would be used?

This is the key. As others have stated, housing is affordable. 225life's problem is he wants to be given a $300,000 home in exchange for no work.
225life, you can live in a trailer. That is affordable. You can rent. Also affordable. You can live in a tent, extremely affordable. All are examples of affordable housing. Why don't you attempt to live in any of these options?

I will guarantee you'll get a reply of
"i don't know, but i shouldn't have to work for xx years to afford a house my grandparents got for $xx,xxx"
He'll ignore inflation, the value of a dollar then vs. now, the fact his grandparents worked for a living, and the reason why the dollar has much less buying power now than then due to the exact thing he demands. GOVERNMENT "BUYING" YOU A HOUSE.

There are plenty of countries who do not have gun issues like America. I guess mass shootings are a god given right as well?
You have a right to a gun just as you have a right to housing. Neither one requires anyone else to provide it for you.
Get a real job, stop being a pussy, and grow the eff up.

However i get a free abortion with your tax money if its legal? The topic wasnt free, it was suggested AFFORDABLE, which means you still have to work and pay for said house. Just within your means

Define AFFORDABLE.
I can afford my house. Many posters here afford there's. Why can we afford a house, but you can't?

It’s not what we say… it’s what you don’t know.
The constitution is not meant to grant government stuff to people. It’s not.
Name one law that prohibits a citizen from buying or building a residence in the United States. Where they absolutely cannot build a home. Anywhere. They are shut out. It’s a tent for life for them. Find one. Don’t have to be federal. Doesn’t have to be state. It can be a HOA bylaw. Anything. Anywhere.
Ohhhhhhhhhh but that’s not what you want. You want the government to provide them homes. To build them. To hand them the keys. For me to pay for my home…. But hand out housing elsewhere. With the money I send to the US government. In the name of eeeeeeqqqqquuuuuuiiiiiiiitttttyyyyy. The kind of equity where I pay.. and someone else doesn’t have to.
Your argument is also flawed from the point of comparing rights. Well… using your stance… where can I apply for free guns? I have a gosh darn right to have them!!! Where can I get a free one????
“Uhh uhh you can go to the military and they will give you one!! Huh! Huh!” You know what else they will give you?? Shelter.
Run along and play. And be sure to give a substantial portion of your check to a housing charity since you are so concerned. Don’t be a hypocrite.

This was NOT about attacking the second amendment at all. This was about possibly making another amendment for housing. You dont think its weird that gun violence is out of control in America, yet we reserve the rights for crazies (potentially) homeless people to have them. Simply a comparison
Your inability to make a meaningful comparison is maybe the worst I've seen on this board. The right to keep and bear arms does not give you the right to kill someone. Murder is illegal.
A homeless person can have a house or a gun or both or none. They just have to go buy one or not. Its not illegal to own a house. It is illegal to murder people in your house. Its illegal to murder people with your gun in your house or outside of your house.
Follow the dots. Slowly.
I wasn't aware anyone made home ownership illegal. So I'm not sure why you'd need that right protected. Now, if you said they should make it a Right to own property without taxation protected under the Constitution, then I'd understand your point.

You know that exists don’t you? It’s called section 8. And it’s a crime magnet.
