I'm writing to correct a serious misquote at the end of this piece. It turns out that the quote reflects exactly the opposite of what I said and the sentiment, to the extent that I'm aware of it, of the people gathered at the forum. When I referred to stabilizing the housing market, I did so in the context of explaining the kinds of solutions offered by people who put profits first, people second. These are people who think we've got a housing market crisis (which they just refer to as a 'housing crisis', leaving out the 'market)'. What we've really got is a values crisis and what we need to start doing is not thinking about how to stabilize the housing market (e.g., bail out the banks, release them from civil and criminal liability etc.) but about what housing would look like if people mattered. We have to start not from housing as commodity, but housing as a human right. We DO NOT need to stabilize the housing market. We need to stop thinking of housing in terms of markets altogether. HOUSING IS A HUMAN RIGHT!
