I think it's valid to address issues with proposed solutions, especially prior to their implementation. For what it's worth, their argument is not entirely sound, since most these proposals have built in subsidies for home buyers, but it's good that they are providing their perspective.
Their "issue" is that they think it doesn't benefit them personally, and they think everything ought to be about them.
I mean, it's not just them in that situation, and it seems uncharitable to claim their only concern is self interest. I stand by my original point that it's important people speak up about how situations affect them, and I'm not sure I'd call that self interested. Since I don't know them personally, I'll give the benefit of the doubt. Housing as a right is a cornerstone of leftist ideology, so I want to make sure people feel comfortable talking about it openly and debating implementation and bringing up when people might be left behind.
