For real though, if you are reading this, are a YIMBY, and are a person of means, why not try to generate a test case for this? Have someone set up a tent encampment on their own private lot and force the case. How can it possibly be legal to set up a tent in a public right of way, and not on your own property?

- s1artibartfast 3y agoYeah, I think it's a really interesting thought experiment and social commentary. It's illegal to build a 20 room cinder block dormitory on a private parcel, while legal to build a Shantytown fire hazard in the sidewalk down the street. You could easily build a SRO sized fireproof, cinderblock room (e.g. 10x10ft) for less than $5,000 per unit in materials.
