That’s a pretty bad argument if you’re making a case for these buildings. “It’s better than the streets”. What’s next? “Water and bread are better than being hungry”? I think we should cross a line somewhere.
Of course living in the streets is worse than any house, but it should never be the baseline. I’m not making a case against those buildings, just your arguments is shit.
The crisis is having to live in these rabbit hutches for humans.
Factory farming human misery and suffering is what these are.
Eh, they’re okay
Much better than being on the street and you’re kinda exaggerating how shitty they are.
I lived in one long enough.
You’re underestimating how shitty living in one of those feels.
The bush in the local park was right there brother
Full of used needles and dog shit. Feel free to touch it.
But I thought it was better than a block
There’s a reason anyone with a little bit of wealth on their hands get the fuck out of these asap. Nobody lives in these on their own will.
It’s almost like they were made to house a lot of people fast and cheaply
I mean for a relatively loose definition of ‘housing people’, sure.
People need to stop romanticizing these as a solution to anything. Living in one of those is a mental health crisis.

And how exactly is that different than one of the same 5 apartment buildings that are being built in every single city in the US?
They’re both shit mate.
