Housing is an essential. You can’t just go homeless without significant consequences. That’s not “voluntary”. Just moving somewhere else is not always viable.

To prove an extreme case, if I point a gun at you and say “$1k or I shoot”, you’re likely to pay. You gained not dying, but are you richer? Or did I merely use my power to impose an urgent need on you that you needed to pay for?
