U.N. investigates U.S. housing

The U.N. is sending an agent to a number of American cities to check on affordable housing -- and determine if a lack of it violated human rights.

Of course, there's no common definition of what is acceptable housing. What works for the Yanomamo won't work in Royal Oak. And vice versa.

The overall problem with the U.N. throwing its weight around is the organization's democracy deficit. Nobody elected these folks. And if power comes from the people, it has no power.

Here for story.
