@Doreen: I will speak for Max here and say that we are both on your side.

The kind of political change that would allow SROs to be built where people want them is the same kind of political change that would allow more housing construction generally, it’s the same change that would remove parking minimums and floor space carve outs and kitchen appliance requirements.

So, if we can get that kind of political change and make sure good housing is affordably available to everyone, why compromise and build SROs?
