I live in a rented house. If my landlord sells I'm out on my ear. I'd like the law changed so that both the landlord and the tenant must see out the term of the lease and that 3 to 5 year terms were standard but under no circumstances should my landlord be forced to house me if I don't keep up my side of the deal or somehow undertake to house me for life.
So you and the homeless lady would like the law changed so as to provide security of tenure? The details as to what that involves to be discussed, but the principle is there. You, like the homeless lady, want security of tenure.
Again, the context of the quote "a house for life" from the article was not determined. If it was a demand, then I would agree with you. But if it was an expression of a commonly held aspiration, then I see nothing wrong with it.
