While much commentary has focused on ethnic origin and integration narratives, this contribution shifts attention to housing itself. The Court’s reasoning abstracts away the material realities of eviction and housing commodification, with the consequence that harm is fragmented and housing policies may more readily be framed as legitimate tools of “integration” and “social cohesion,” even where they disproportionately affect minority groups.
