UN Investigator Probes US Housing Crisis
And a United Nations investigator has opened a probe into the US housing crisis. Raquel Rolnik, the UN Special Rapporteur on Adequate Housing, will investigate issues including public housing, homelessness and foreclosures. On Thursday, Rolnik held a public meeting with housing activists in New York. UN Special Rapporteur on Adequate Housing Raquel Rolnik: If we take housing as a human right, you have to go back to the idea that housing is a social issue before and more priority than housing as a commodity, as a financial asset.
As part of her inquiry Rolnik is expected to visit at least six other cities and towns, including Chicago, Los Angeles and New Orleans.

Hoooray!
It's about time...!
There are other human rights violations, including social exclusion, lack of food security, and health care --- and the idea of good governence entails that the government shows some concern for the basic needs of its people. The US fails to meet this test-and is not ashamed of it either.
How can we dance when our rugs are turning?
How can we sleep when our beds are burning?
good!!!
