Clearly a better alternative to let them die on the streets rather than the unthinkable alternative of having to share walls with a neighbor.

Sharing walls is better than no walls.

I wonder if we need more SROs, single residency occupant, with shared bathrooms, or boarding houses with shared kitchens. Or might be fine with small studio apartments with bathroom and kitchen.

What really need is three bedroom apartments for families or shared housing.

Hopefully the satire in my original comment was obvious - if not, I'll clarify that it was satire.

The priority should be to house everyone before any considerations such as home equity or other concerns are even up for consideration.
