The Constitution of the United States has not been re-written. The Bill of Rights has not been re-written. D.C. city government declared this to be the first “Human Rights City” in the United States as of December, 2008.
Shouldn’t that lead us to a universal right to housing?
No man, woman, boy or girl should have to live or die on the streets of the city where they live.
So please, enlighten me as to why we yet must advocate and fight, in 2017, in Washington, D.C., our nation’s capital — or anywhere else for that matter — for the basic necessity of a place to live. I’m talking about a decent place to live: not a street, not a shelter, but a dwelling.
How far have we NOT come? How far must we GO to take care of each other?
