Does having an AirBNB setup make someone deserving of the guillotine or does that only apply to owners of multiple houses? What about apartments?

Please explain your reasoning as well.

    The best alternative to a flawed government program is nothing, it can get far worse than that

      The best alternative to government housing is no housing? Landlords run at market rate and that keeps a lot of people out, so for them that’s no housing.

        That’s the worse than nothing option, because it also invites gentrification to the area, which drives up prices of everything else nearby. So now not only can people not afford a place to live, they also can’t even afford some food to eat, and are forced to migrate somewhere else. This is how you end up with homeless encampments.
