I know land is expensive in CA, but the cost per unit is obscene for what they should be. An individual really only needs about 150sq ft. 5x10 bathroom (toilet, sink & shower - no tub). Then a 10x10 room with a bed on the wall (make it fold up if you want) and kitchen setup on the other side of the wall (fridge, stove, sink & couple of cabinets).
Who said these units are anything more than described?

"To create a bigger impact now and in the future, the city must make some immediate changes to its approach," said Galperin in comments via email. "Los Angeles needs to figure out how to make the cost of development cheaper and the timeline quicker."
At an average cost of $531,373 per unit – with many apartments costing more than $600,000 each – building costs of many of the homeless units will exceed the median sale price of a market-rate condominium. In the city of Los Angeles, the median price for a condo is $546,000, and a single-family home in Los Angeles County has a median price of $627,690, the study states.
