Dear Editor,
How well is it going Canada with the flyers and coupons for food? 
Sitting back here waiting for housing that is affordable is like checking your mailbox for coupons that will lower your rent, flyers of dreams of winning the lottery and what are the odds of that.
Low income housing that has room to actually live in seems to be an effort of no effort at all to build. What people are facing is not only the cost of housing but having enough room to actual live in the space that is provided for a full rewarding life. These tiny cramped quarters that we are being forced into and that are being built are really no choice of our own because governments and municipalities are allowing developers to build these apartments that have accommodations smaller in size, and that are inadequate in space for the social needs of any human being in this twenty-first century. A big step to very little.
鈥淪ardines in a can鈥� comes to mind. 
Housing a word big enough to accommodate an individual or more but lies in context of what is housing and how it is defined. Is housing a place where one lives that only shelters you from the elements or is housing a place of security, growth and the prosperity of a future for the people who are living there? Does everyone have a right to housing? Does a country need affordable housing, affordable health care, affordable food, do we need security in our lives and in our work places? Is housing more then a shelter with four walls and a door?
Homeless people or the working poor or anyone you wish to point a finger at do they have basic rights to be able to live in this world? 
To build a country, to build a society we have to house fundamental principles of what we as human beings should accept or not, but always with respect for all.
Rich or poor a home is our castle and the dining room table is a place where we will sit with friends and family, and the people whom we will invite in will become our guests. 
Room to expand, to grow within a dwelling is a fundamental and an innate right, born within us, and if taken away from us, it will become a defining characteristic of someone who we are not and a symbol of a society that is decaying.
Governments that only build out of need to accommodate their political existence without housing the purpose and needs of the people will falter and fall to the wayside. Our social structure is an accommodation of all, and if it falls, we go with it.
Right now the speed of light is too slow in building affordability. The moment when we see the slowing down of stories in the news and in government action to solve these issues of affordability, the homeless plight, and of seniors who can鈥檛 afford proper housing, of people going hungry and the lining up at food banks, it will become the moment of this nation鈥檚 future, it will become the clock that stopped in Canada and of the system that gave up.
