Is it possible to develop cheap SRO-style housing without needing it all to be clustered together? It's easier to convert a single building into a bunch of SRO

Is it possible to develop cheap SRO-style housing without needing it all to be clustered together? It's easier to convert a single building into a bunch of SRO units, but that's just a recipe for more community backlash and economic segregation.
- maxwell 1y agoYurts.
- whimsicalism 1y agoI think you're just describing standard mixed income housing, although the section 8 eligible units there are often nicer than what you would get in an SRO, they are often less nice than the market-rate.
- xnx 1y agoYes. There are all types of housing possibilities if it weren't criminalized. For example, in most cities in the US it is illegal to live in an RV.
- bunjeejmpr 1y agoYeah I would not care about RV living so long as they aren't trash pandas and general hazards. Trad homeowners with solar, grid connection could offer cheap power to help recharge faster.
- mason_mpls 1y agoAll the land around economic centers is taken by suburbs, the only direction is up. There’s nothing wrong with that, this is the natural progression of city growth. This is only becoming a problem because local communities are using their legal weight to prevent enough condos & apartments from being built to satisfy demand. So now we have more homeless people and high rent problems.
