The Case for Rent Abolition
This chapter explores the profound implications of rent abolition as a pathway to viewing housing as a human right, contrasting the risks of advocacy with the transformative potential it holds for community dynamics. It critiques existing affordable housing policies and their failure to genuinely address the needs of marginalized tenants, arguing that current structures perpetuate exploitation and displacement. The conversation highlights the importance of grassroots solidarity and redefines tenant identity to encompass broader struggles for shelter, survival, and liberation.
