        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.

            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.

        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.
