While I appreciate the sentiment, can America move on from these "solutions" for unhoused people? This is more like a 21st century garden hermit situation [1]. They don't have plumbing or kitchens, they're effectively Home Depo garden sheds. It's vastly cheaper and more humane to prevent homelessness in the first place via rent control and allowing more housing to be built. It's not flashy or sexy, but it's actually a real solution.

I'm glad to live in a country where there's very little homelessness, and if you'd hear about someone putting up garden sheds for people to live in, they would be laughed out of the town.

> rent control

A displacement-prevention measure, not a housing affordability measure

> allowing more housing to be built

That's what they are doing, building houses, and you are pushing against it. You may not like the houses, but they are the best available option for many people, as proven by the fact that they are choosing to live there.

Housing affordability _is_ a displacement-prevention measure.

> building houses

These are not houses, they lack basic plumbing, kitchen, food refrigeration, etc.

> as proven by the fact that they are choosing to live there.

Most literally were unable to afford other forms of housing, especially the elderly living on social security. Calling this a choice is intellectually dishonest.
