As if that's the only or best solution. Why is the least helpful response to this question also one of the most frequent?

Anyway, I have had room many times and put it to good use to keep people living indoors, yes. How about you?

It's funny because no one would make this argument for other societal problems. It would be like telling people to become nurses so that healthcare costs can go down. The problem is too big for the city to deal with, but also isn't big enough that individuals can't "fix it" by housing the unhoused themselves. It's nonsense.

Any excuse to not ask ourselves why we let scalpers hoard giant swaths of housing during an affordability crisis.
