    Hostels are temporary, and fun.

    So are tents (allegedly).

    They both provide shelter.

    Neither is a long term solution to housing. And neither provide personal security.

    These meat boxes are exactly what some prisons look like. Albeit with a better paint job.

    Up here in Canada a recent report stated there are about 5 times the number of vacant homes as there are homeless. Yet, somehow, there’s still a housing crisis.

      Yeah but you don’t have to stay in that room. You have freedom.
