    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.

              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.

              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.
