Just imagine the guards’ rooms from Squid Game. How expensive would it be to build 10,000 of those for SF’s homeless? They get a desk, chair, bed, shared bathroom, and a door that locks. How can you argue that is worse than what they have now? We agree that the best route to solve the homeless problem is to find homes for them, but liberals believe those homes have to be 600sf+ with a full kitchen and bathroom, laundry in unit, and free gym onsite. Let’s just get them inside with the bare minimum and figure out amenities once they’re stable.

> liberals believe those homes have to be 600sf+ with a full kitchen and bathroom, laundry in unit, and free gym onsite That's hilarious, because you can look up Gabrunas Hall on Joint Base Pearl Harbor - Hickam on Google Maps and look at the 3 photos some sailor took of those barracks rooms. And what's hilarious, is that Gabrunas was widely considered the nicest Naval barracks at Pearl Harbor outside of the bachelor officer barracks. The room probably isn't even 250 sq. ft. I spent the better part of a year living in that barracks, for the three years I was stationed at Pearl Harbor, and when I wasn't there, I was onboard the USS Honolulu (SSN-718), in which one has no room, period. In Gabrunas, you shared a kitchen and a bathroom with a roommate who had their own private room as well. Laundry facilities were at the end of each hallway and were shared by everyone on that floor. If that's a good enough environment for senior enlisted personnel - that is, people who've spent quite a few years in the military, or have advanced quickly (generally E-6 and above), it should damn well be good enough for homeless people.

"They get a desk, chair, bed, shared bathroom, and a door that locks" Yeah and you have to pay €700 a month for that.
