The argument that short-term suites are not really suited to long-term living is fair. Do these suites have proper kitchens with ovens? Laundry nooks? Or are we going to have a shared laundromat on the ground costing $20 to do your weekly washing?
The rest is pure Nimbyism. If the government actually adapts these dwellings for safe and stable housing, it can only be a win.
