Why? Isnt this the free market at work? Allowing the people who work the hardest for it (of course this always the case, but you get my point), to choose their place of residence.
Markets are mechanisms we use to accomplish goals. They are not ends in themselves. They are certainly not universal moral guides. If you think in this case a market is the best mechanism to achieve a particular social goal, you'll have to make the case.
If we were to give houses to the people who worked hardest, every single immigrant construction worker I have met would get the houses, and comfortable office-dwellers like me would be out of luck.
I certainly cant argue with that, but wouldnt the people buying them be the hard workers in industries that reward them for that work (the reward values are a whole different issue imo).
