In the quiet early morning hours of a Vancouver neighborhood, Elena, a long-time resident, walks her dog and notices a cluster of small, modular structures in a vacant lot adjacent to her home. She feels a mix of curiosity and anxiety. On one hand, she recognizes the visible reduction in encampments that previously lined the nearby park, suggesting a potential improvement in public order. On the other hand, she worries about the permanence of these structures, the impact on property values, and whether this solution merely displaces the problem rather than solving it.
