That situation would be significantly better then a temporary bunk in a warehouse which is the best case scenario given all the problems with way homeless people are provided with shelter in the US.
Because of policies mandating to stop using drugs, follow a specific religion or give up their possessions and live in bunks without private spaces or storage for personal items.
Oh good another "quirky" white American discovers China article. So many things I can pick on but mostly how some one from LA never went to the bare minimum effort of walking through a CHAIN Asian grocery store and just looking at the tofu section.

You can't just work harder to afford housing and you can't just go to AA to treat your addiction and underlying conditions.

Someone rewrote a bunch of text books from the 1970s and put them on the internet. Unless you work in IC development you don't need to know how comparators work internally. The logic gate examples are slighly less obsolete (early 1980s). This is yet another joke introduction written by a hobbyist who wants to mess with individual transistors for no purpose. There are no practical applications for these examples and there is no learning value in them.
Same arguments applies to balloon framing, drywall, steel studs or pvc piping. It doesn't matter if that 100 year old house is reparable when workers can't be found with the knowledge to repair it to the original appearance.
A Rolodex and a limited understanding of the real estate market. If they really had expert housing market knowledge would they be working as a real estate agent?
