> it's a violation of human rights. people receiving shelter based on who gave birth to them

This hyperbole kills reasonable discussion. Right to shelter != right to own property, and any property at that.

Again, hyperbole. Plenty of countries have housing models that preclude private ownership. They're still fulfilling their obligation to shelter.

Most Americans do not face a lack of shelter, certainly not those considering purchasing a house. Housing cost is a serious issue in our cities. But it's not at the level of violating human rights, not by a long shot.
