You know what helps with affordable housing that doesn't require thievery? Simplified zoning and permit laws. Now, I'm not familiar with the laws in CO in this regard, but I'm willing to bet that a lot of places have ordinances against very simple, cheap housing like a tiny house.

I took a urban economics class while an undergrand and the professor had us learn a model that treated homelessness as an economic decision. I.e. people live on street because the cost of housing is less to them than cost of being homeless

He said time and time again that the single biggest thing our govt can do to make homelessness less prevalent is to make SRO (single room occupancy) housing legal

It is currently illegal for home builders to make sro housing
