And who has to build that shelter, and what about their freedom?

> what about their freedom?
I think they made good use of it.
We in the USA are the wealthiest nation in the history of the world. We could solve homelessness and hunger tomorrow.
I'm not saying that people should lose their property to squatters, that's not the solution. I'm saying that we could build ~300,000 new homes and give them to people for free and it would barely register on the national budget.
I think it is remarkable that people argue for theft from others instead of donating their time, effort, or money to building those houses.
The underlying hypocrisy is that most people argue that others should pay, but won't act individually on their own beliefs
Hell, I would do it for 10% of that. No job and drinking and camping for a year sounds like an epic vacation.
Before you doubt me, I was certifiably homeless in San Francisco for 3 months it was a blast. Slept on couches everyday, worked cash jobs, and partied every night.
Just trying to understand how this right to shelter works.
This is why in a society free from theft, one must build or make something for exchange to get things you want.
I don't see why buying two plots and building two houses entitles someone else to one of them.
There's no free land, but there is cheap land, especially in deserts. Simply owning land might not be as nice as you imagine
