This seems to contradict your earlier point. You say that since I wouldn’t want to use a port-a-potty myself, I shouldn’t consider it as a solution for homeless people.

On the other hand, I also wouldn’t want to live in an SRO, so why should I accept that for homeless people?

One way to think of it isn't "A place to keep homeless people", but as an option that someone could choose to live in voluntarily at an affordable rate.

When I was in college, I loved living in the dorms. I don't understand why that isn't more of an option for people. It's a community in a building rather than along a street.
