I agree with the focus article that, in theory, ‘capabilities’ represent the most ethically appropriate informational space for evaluating housing outcomes. My concerns with the article are twofold. First, it overestimates the practical utility of the capabilities approach for qualitative and quantitative housing research. Second, it leaves unanswered the more pressing and pertinent procedural question of “who decides on the list of capabilities and how?”. In line with Sen, I argue that the list of capabilities (or any alternative framework for evaluating housing outcomes) should be determined from the bottom-up through a process of deliberative democracy
