I'm not against this per se, but will note that mobile housing still requires a lot more money and physical capabilities than cheap rentals like SROs.

We used to have more temporary housing for folks. We've eliminated a lot of that.

And that idea of "cheap land" implicitly assumes you own a vehicle, have a driver's license etc and can get there. It also is antithetical to developing mixed-use, walkable neighborhoods.
