Well, some people think they shouldn’t pay for sex work, either – but it is easier for a stripper or a hooker to cut off service than it is for a property owner. Each industry has its own quirks. I guess health care and housing both implicate moral hazard issues that can be a headache for the provider.

Some tenant-and patients rights advocates say that housing or healthcare should be a human right. Fair enough I say, but rights come from the government, and I am not the government. If you want to make housing a human right, institute a public rental insurance scheme that works and a single-payer health care system. Once you say that the government has to come up with funds to back these suggestions, progressive lawmakers scuttle out of the way like cockroaches when you turn on the lights.

Implicit in a refusal to pay for sex work is the idea that sex is a human right. Maybe, we should institute a single-payer sex worker scheme?
