The most important of the principles is the first one which stipulates what purpose the housing policy should have which is that the state should work to create equivalent possibilities for its citizens to find housing of their own choosing. Linked to this is the morally important way in which the state needs to treat its citizens which is to treat the citizens after the principle of Autonomy. All three neoliberal reforms fails in treating the citizens by this principle as well as working against the state’s purpose in this case which makes them reproachable. (Less)
