“…the current approach to the housing crisis overwhelmingly views housing as a product, a commodity that should be left to market forces. But, housing is much more than a commodity. It is a human right.” Another fantastic piece by @elizmcisaac ⬇️

The human right to housing is not an abstract ideal, but based on established principles and norms.
So how can #cities implement a rights-based approach to #housing? Read this article by @maytree_canada's @elizmcisaac for more: newcities.org/cities-have-th… #BigPicture
