> I agree that the basic human need of shelter should be more affordable.
Affordable where? In West Texas or in Paris? Today, Paris' population is ~2M and the residential buildings cannot be taller than 50m by law. If 10M people want to live there, is it a "basic human right" to build 10M homes for them by replacing existing Parisian building by skyscrapers? What will that do to the existing fabric/culture of the city, and who gets to decide what is allowed? Existing residents or the would-be residents?
