renting at an affordable rate from the state

Kind of like our reality of Section 8 housing which I personally think should be the universal norm, rather than a rare exception for which people have to wait on a waiting list for 15 years before they're granted the exception of subsidized housing. ALL housing should be based upon how much we're able to pay for it. It only makes sense because

A roof over every human's head is a basic human need like air to breathe & food to eat.

The first thing primitive humans do is seek out caves to live in, and they learn how to build huts. They don't have to work 40 hours a week and pay 50% of that to the sky gods for the privilege of shelter from storms.

The fact that food, shelter, clothing, medical care and education aren't all considered basic human rights that should be subsidized is depressing as hell to me.

No one should be forced to live on the streets or sacrifice their education.
