[Advocates for the homeless] worry that cities will buy bare-bones, cheaper models, place them in remote parts of town, and criminalize those who refuse to go.
[Tiny homes] may provide cities with the legal authority to then clear out any remaining tent encampments: Funk told me she can determine “exactly how many units you need in order to make it illegal to sleep on the streets within the city limits in San Francisco.”
"Advocates for the homeless are worried cities might abuse this; cities and tiny home sellers, meanwhile, are openly salivating to abuse it"? This seems less like a, uh, "big bet" and more like yet another excuse to waste money and harass the homeless.
