We should be thankful that this Capitalist risked his hard-earned money on this innovation and created so much more extra housing for people!

On the newer Apple devices with Lidar, there's apps that can do this. You can make a 3D scan of things and rooms.

the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry

I actually think there's something here for homelessness prevention. Like, take that company that is doing legal tent encampments and make them do tinyhouse style apartments with the bare minimum of space, offered for free to anyone that needs it. Would need an exception for current housing laws but like it's better than under a bridge.

What's the bare minimum for a human to have all the necessities? 100sqft? The minimum in NYC now is 150sqft and those people are paying through the nose for it.

Or just expropriate the empty houses that already exist and give them to the homeless.

There are literally houses already, that people built, with the construction of them has been paid many times over, and the people that built them are all probably dead already. Nobody else needs money from them, they exist, put the people inside them.

it's better (or warmer at least) than under a bridge but worse than anything anyone deserves. then of course once there's "sufficient" housing, vagrancy laws will be enforced much more strictly, forcing people into these tenements where they have no power and are under constant scrutiny (presumably like current low-income housing but more so), and then whoops, we just built more prisons.

like it should be emphasized that your idea is just an intensification of our current non-solution to homelessness, whereby companies are given government subsidies to meet the barest minimum standard of housing and then treat their tenants like shit under the guise of "public safety," and then anyone who can't even afford that is unpersoned into a cell maintained by the state directly.
