I actually think there's something here for homelessness prevention. Like, take that company that is doing legal tent encampments and make them do tinyhouse style apartments with the bare minimum of space, offered for free to anyone that needs it. Would need an exception for current housing laws but like it's better than under a bridge.
What's the bare minimum for a human to have all the necessities? 100sqft? The minimum in NYC now is 150sqft and those people are paying through the nose for it.
You need to dream bigger than giving people 6m² in a cramped appartment with shared bathrooms and kitchens. Absolute
shit. You could just make more appartments and be less evil.
I can't make more apartments, I don't have the money to build them or the political votes to fund them. If you do, go live your values. I'm trying to deal with the political realities, and 100sqft of optional free housing that does get built is better than the nothing that is currently being built.
We can do both, if your idea can get the funding. If it can't, all the more reason we need a compromise solution to help the people who are hurting right now.
