SROs can't work in cities with strong tenant protections. If some junky trashes the shared kitchen and bathroom then the landlord needs to be able to evict them immediately (like in a hotel). Good luck doing that in NYC.

Yep. If eviction rules aren't loosened, these SROs will only be rented to people with >700 credit scores just like normal apartments. The people who need them most still won't get them.
