Why do people still vote for political parties who think a roof over your head is not a right but is instead a commodity to be speculated on.

The Apollo house Memorial to those who died in homelessness, was removed in less than 24 hours. The state can mobilise when it wants to, unfortunately only to silence and censor the good will of ordinary people. The people must mobilise themselves. Direct Action.
