you could lose your home,and maybe move to another part of the country, get harassed by racists ,have your life permanently a mess, losing a home can mean disaster,. notice i said ''home'' ,not ''housing''.you could have a perfect housing in a racist country but not have your HOME in the area you grew up in. landlords have too much authority. land for people ,not profiteers!
