Owning a home is not a basic need and to classify it in the same breathe as air, water, food, even freedom is a joke.
Once more to place arbitrary restrictions on markets such as home ownership does not solve basic problems due to differentials in wealth.
You can apply your same line of reasoning to cars, to jobs, to food, to water, to anything. Carrying your logic to a not so unreasonable conclusion would imply everyone should have access to everything no matter what they have accomplished in life.
