That's literally homelessness. Living in a car is being homeless. What do they think homelessness is?

From the other examples, so is living in a napping pod. Debatably so are living in an alumnus' house or an assisted living facility, or even the Airbnb example, depending on the precarity of the arrangement, but obviously any of those are better than being made to live in a parking lot (what about students without cars?) or a napping pod (at least you don't need to own a car for this one).

An actual solution to student homelessness? Build more student dorms and house them there.

But you see if we build student dorms we gotta charge like 50% more than market rent for reasons

Homelessness isnt just not having a home, its being chased around by police for simply trying to sleep. This, as bleak as it is, is a huge improvement over the conditions most homeless people are in

I absolutely agree, but it's still homelessness being presented as a solution to homelessness.

Homelessness is being naked and starving sleeping in the middle of a national highway in winter. Any upgrade from that and you become a temporarily embarrassed landlord
