You're real proud of your goal "let's meet the absolute bare minimum requirement for human habitability" aren't you

and its not even that. a bare minimum would mean you get a restroom (small shower + toilet + sink and mirror) and a small stove + fridge imo. soviet union built small things like that to solve immediate demand after ww2 where they had a ton of homeless people due to bombings.

You're real proud of...letting people be unhoused.

If you build something someone can live in, and let them decide whether or not they want to live in it optionally, the people who take advantage of it will be the ones who will be helped by it. I'm not saying anything other than that.

I'm not proud of letting people be unhoused at all. I'm a firm believer in and supporter of housing first models. There are empty full sized apartments and homes all over the world. Put people in them. It's literally that easy. There's no need to hand wring about anything else. There's no need to build insufficient temporary shelter. Put. People. In. Homes.
