	1	+Increased government involvement in the housing market causes the housing market to collapse.
	2	+Salins 98 Peter D. Salins (Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs of the State University of New York) "Comment on Chester Hartman's “The case for a right to housing”: Housing is a right? Wrong!." (1998): 259-266.
	3	+If government involvement in the provision of housing were significantly extended, as Hartman proposes, the housing market would become increasingly impaired, mainly to the detriment of housing consumers—including the poor. Even existing housing programs, marginal as they are, distort housing markets in the communities in which they operate. Government agencies, operating in their own right or as conduits for subsidies to private or nonprofit developers, make inefficient housing producers; when they assist tenants they distort the contours of housing demand. Most housing projects developed by public agencies are expensive to build and maintain, and usually designed to inferior construction and amenity specifications. Federally mandated eligibility rules make them islands of extreme poverty and social dysfunction, even by the standards of the poor neighborhoods in which they are set. Publicly developed housing is often so poorly designed that some public housing authorities have resorted—amid widespread public approbation—to tearing them down. Even when government programs underwrite privately owned housing—Section 8, for example—many of the same problems arise, and others are added. Subsidized for-profit landlords often overcharge and undermaintain their units, and nonprofit sponsor-owners often fail as managers or go broke.

	7	+To understand more fully how much damage public housing can inflict on neighborhoods like the Near West Side, consider what can happen when it disappears from a troubled area of a city. After northern Philadelphia’s bleak Richard Allen Homes met with the wrecking ball two years ago, developer Lawrence Rust pounced, putting together a detailed development plan for the derelict area near the demolished project. Soon he was gutting and renovating previously vacant buildings, and selling to yuppie gentrifiers. “I took 15 dumpsters filled with trash out of here,” Rust tells some prospective buyers of a three-story loft he is renovating—a 20-something graphic designer and a singer, both from New York. He’s selling the row house he restored next door for $225,000, on a block where a few years ago houses went for $1,500, and property taxes were negligible.

	10	+LÉVY-VROELANT Lévy-Vroelant, Claire. "Right to Housing in France: Still a Long Way to Go from Intention to Implementation, The." JL and Soc. Pol'y 24 (2015): i. Claire Lévy-Vroelant is a professor of Sociology at the University of Paris 8 Saint-Denis (France) and researcher at Centre de recherche sur l’Habitat (CRHLAVUE of CNRS) where she is part of the Scientific Committee. http://www2.univ-paris8.fr/sociologie/wp-content/uploads/2005/05/cv-english-levy-vroelant.pdf
	11	+In a way, the Paris Opéra hotel tragedy is emblematic of our times: at the time of the fire, those “temporarily accommodated” people were both rights-holders (as families) and also, very often, were without rights in the DALO sense as undocumented migrants. Now, these people are all entitled to a formal right to stay, and they can find a place in the social housing sector without proceeding through the DALO as a consequence of being victims of the drama and also thanks to the commitment of housing rights associations. But the Paris Opéra tragedy continues to highlight legal and policy failures and reveal the real barriers to realizing a right to housing: as long as these individuals and families can’t access the labour market, and consequently pay, at least partly, for their own accommodation, they will continue to suffer the worst forms of social exclusion and exploitation. Because of their numbers, those most in need of housing will also continue to displace the initial use of hotels as first-step shelters for isolated homeless persons. At the same time, the story of the Paris Opéra hotel shows that as soon as families have received a stable legal permit and social housing in a familiar neighbourhood, they can become independent and dedicate themselves to the reconstruction of their lives. The decisive importance of being properly housed, on the basis of which promoters of an enforceable right to housing have legitimated the Law, appears in all its critical dimensions.
	12	+2. Long term duration- if the market goes down there will be nobody to produce more houses or invest in fixing old houses and redeveloping them. This means even if in the short term a right to housing can help a few people, it does more harm than good in the long run.
	13	+3. Strong correlation between a weak economy and poverty- empirics prove.
	14	+OECD http://www.oecd.org/derec/unitedkingdom/40700982.pdf GROWTH BUILDING JOBS AND PROSPERITY IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
	15	+Research that compares the experiences of a wide range of developing countries finds consistently strong evidence that rapid and sustained growth is the single most important way to reduce poverty. A typical estimate from these cross-country studies is that a 10 per cent increase in a country’s average income will reduce the poverty rate by between 20 and 30 per cent.1 The central role of growth in driving the speed at which poverty declines is confirmed by research on individual countries and groups of countries. For example, a flagship study of 14 countries in the 1990s found that over the course of the decade, poverty fell in the 11 countries that experienced significant growth and rose in the three countries with low or stagnant growth.

	17	+Outweighs the case- Poverty is the worst form of structural violence and kills millions.
	18	+Abu-Jamal (Mumia, award winning Pennsylvania journalist, quotes James Gilligan, Professor at Harvard/NYU, “A quiet and deadly violence”, http://www.flashpoints.net/mQuietDeadlyViolence.html)
	19	+The deadliest form of violence is poverty. ~-~-Ghandi It has often been observed that America is a truly violent nation, as shown by the thousands of cases of social and communal violence that occurs daily in the nation. Every year, some 20,000 people are killed by others, and additional 20,000 folks kill themselves. Add to this the nonlethal violence that Americans daily inflict on each other, and we begin to see the tracings of a nation immersed in a fever of violence. But, as remarkable, and harrowing as this level and degree of violence is, it is, by far, not the most violent features of living in the midst of the American empire. We live, equally immersed, and to a deeper degree, in a nation that condones and ignores wide-ranging "structural' violence, of a kind that destroys human life with a breathtaking ruthlessness. Former Massachusetts prison official and writer, Dr. James Gilligan observes; By "structural violence" I mean the increased rates of death and disability suffered by those who occupy the bottom rungs of society, as contrasted by those who are above them. Those excess deaths (or at least a demonstrably large proportion of them) are a function of the class structure; and that structure is itself a product of society's collective human choices, concerning how to distribute the collective wealth of the society. These are not acts of God. I am contrasting "structural" with "behavioral violence" by which I mean the non-natural deaths and injuries that are caused by specific behavioral actions of individuals against individuals, such as the deaths we attribute to homicide, suicide, soldiers in warfare, capital punishment, and so on. ~-~-(Gilligan, J., MD, Violence: Reflections On a National Epidemic (New York: Vintage, 1996), 192.) This form of violence, not covered by any of the majoritarian, corporate, ruling-class protected media, is invisible to us and because of its invisibility, all the more insidious. How dangerous is it~-~-really? Gilligan notes: Every fifteen years, on the average, as many people die because of relative poverty as would be killed in a nuclear war that caused 232 million deaths; and every single year, two to three times as many people die from poverty throughout the world as were killed by the Nazi genocide of the Jews over a six-year period. This is, in effect, the equivalent of an ongoing, unending, in fact accelerating, thermonuclear war, or genocide on the weak and poor every year of every decade, throughout the world.
