There’s certainly a perspective where everyone’s equal and nobody deserves anything. The 7 foot basketball player would play worse if he wasn’t born tall; the Stanford valedictorian would score less if she wasn’t born smart.
That doesn’t seem like a productive way to look at this kind of inequality issue. If some places to live are better than others, not everyone can have the best.
