Reply to comment by Paranoidexboyfriend in Alternate Title: City of Pittsburgh sues to keep ownership of dilapidated housing, preventing them from being redeveloped by asdropen11

Its the same ones that scream that the city should build more homeless shelters, without thinking about where any of that money would come from.

Also the same ones that scream that schools are underfunded while they also bitch about their property tax assessments.

You know, the kind that want everything, but don't want to be the ones to actually pay for it.

I've tried the same thing with the apt building across from our house. They were installed by Mozart about 2 years after we bought our house and they shine all the way up to our third floor. The city has done nothing..

> 14th amendment

The Constitution basically says that the government (post civil war) cannot stand in your way or deprive you of your 'things' without due process. But it stops short at any mention of the government being responsible for a persons home (or lack of)

> Nah, your human right is access to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We went so far as to put that in our constitution.

Um, yeah, that's not in the Constitution. That was the Declaration of Independence, which was written by the Continental Congress, ironic since it consisted of a bunch of white property owners.

That document really doesn't have much to do with our current government which came into its own in 1789 under the actual Constitution.
