The problem with declaring some abstract idea a “human right” is that rights don't tend to steal from other people. And in the left’s pathetic pursuit to declare "eviction" as “an act of violence," Representative Ayanna Pressley has defended legislation intended to protect renters from being evicted simply because they don't pay rent. And despite the whole point of renting property being that you pay rent, this is totally asinine and nothing but a pathetic power grab that will never be allowed under the Constitution.

The Housing Emergencies Lifeline Program (HELP) Act would make it so that renters are not evicted simply for not paying rent in some circumstances.

According to The Post Millennial:

In remarks backing the bill posted on social media, she described eviction as “devastating for the families” and said it “degrades the health of communities.”

It would also be “devastating” for mom and pop property owners to foot the bill and provide free housing against their will, but I digress. However, in the pathetic pursuit of pretending to help the little guy, the left has made it nearly impossible for anyone to make an honest living, while they reward those for failing to meet social norms — such as paying rent.

“There is great stigma associated with it. It affects your credit score. Housing is a human right. It is a predictor of health outcomes,” Pressley said.

The problem with declaring housing a human right is that she does not actually have the ability to do such a thing. This is because our rights come from God, not some leftist politician who has no understanding of how economics works.

“It’s essential for social and economic mobility, and so many people, when they receive a notice to quit or to vacate their homes, usually because of non-payment, because wages are not keeping pace with inflation, they don’t know their rights, and a lot of times, they will just accept that notice to quit and leave. And so my legislation is making sure they have access because we found that when tenants know their rights, when they have access to legal counsel, we can usually keep them safely housed.”

The HELP Act would provide “critical support” to renters at risk of eviction. The legislation includes provisions to prohibit credit reporting of evictions and utility debt, require landlords covered under the bill to inform tenants of their “rights,” and establish a national hotline through the Department of Housing and Urban Development to connect renters with eviction prevention resources.

While she claims this will help the little guy in middle America, what it truly does is incentivize people to not pay their rent, while struggling mom and pop landlords will be forced to pay the burden. That is not compassion, nor is it some hidden right the left has uncovered. It is tyrannical overreach in a true attempt to destroy private property rights. And unfortunately for the left, that is something the people of this great nation will never get behind.
