this is a complex topic. adequate housing is a relative term, and it&#x27;s unreasonable to expect that everybody&#x27;s wish to live as they want will ever be fulfilled, nor should be. that wallmart employee working in central new york should have a right to big condo near central park because... why? he has 3 kids?<p>if somebody is a wallmart worker, I dare to say they are not trying hard enough. almost everybody can do better, definitely in western society. if they don&#x27;t, it&#x27;s more a matter of personal choices (what to study and do with your free time, willingness to relocate for better work, etc.) rather than anything else. it doesn&#x27;t cover 100% of the cases, but most of them (also from personal experience).
