Low-cost micro-units, often called single-room occupancies, or SROs, were once a reliable form of housing for the United States’ poorest residents of, and newcomers to, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and many other major U.S. cities.

    Yup, almost all the SROs in Chicago are gone now. They weren’t glamorous but were useful to have for widowers, single people new to the city, long-term contractors, and those leaving unstable housing situations. Even students, sometimes.
