Disgraceful that these were allowed be built in the first place. People defacto forced in to these out of necessity, not choice.

- icebraining 7y agoIf you want them to live better, provide better apartments, don't take away the ones they have. Allowing them to be built is not the problem, it's the symptom.
- jamesknelson 7y agoNobody is forced into these apartments. They’re definitely the exception - not the rule. And for a similar price, you could get an apartment for double the size if you only add (quite) a bit of time to your commute. I think it’s great that people have this choice. Especially for people who don’t spend much time at home anyway, what’s the issue with providing a cheaper option? And on the flip side, if places needed to be larger, it’ll drive up the cost for everyone.
- faissaloo 7y agoI think it's more correct to say that the companies setting them up aren't the ones forcing them.
- purple_ducks 7y agoOh dear. Seems I've upset the Ayn Rand crowd.
