City to build modular housing
The city has plans to build dozens of modular housing units for the homeless, starting with two blocks of 30 each, to be ready by next March. Expect NIMBY outcries when the locations are chosen.

If left to their own devices that could happen. But there’s mention of “spaces that are supported by trained and capable staff” so I think these are meant to be overseen by social workers and so on. They won’t be rented out on the open market.

Don’t you mean concierge service? … Just joking. Every time I hear about new housing I get very cynical

Rooming houses need to return. They used to be in the worst areas of our cities so no one to complain there. Usually an old-timer or similar to keep things functional. Common kitchen and bathroom. In the last 20 years, they were knocked down for condo development and the troubled people now drift around as homeless.

Between this and schools, maybe all public buildings will soon be sheds. Need a fire station? Drop by Home Depot and get a shed. Favellas are actually quite sustainable. Recycling building materials, and such.
