No one believes that SROs keep you safe from mass shootings. No one. Stop lying.

If people really believed that, then every private school would have 10 SROs.🤷🏿‍♂️

Rich white schools would have several SROs.

Poor Black schools would have no SROs and would beg for 1 every year, only to be denied.

seems like the most plausible outcome imo

I think Trump grants TikTok a 60 or 90 day reprieve. There will be whatever overtures to get a private deal or consortium of buyers. The deal falls through when China blocks it. The ban then proceeds as proxy for a broader "war," which is what Rubio and all the sinophobes want-- esp around Taiwan.

The purge includes Program Officers (POs), Scientific Review Officers (SROs), and Grants Management Specialists (GMSs) although I do not have even a sense of the numbers.

POs and SROs are, of course, generally PhDs with specialized expertise so filling these gaps with others will not be easy.

i think people look at homelessness as a relatively new phenomenon and reason backwards to think that in the Before Times, poor people must've all been able to afford houses/their own apartments etc.

Most of the housing types the poor used were actually just outlawed (boarding houses, SROs etc)
The two hardest and most unforgiving facts in housing policy are that it actually costs a lot of money to build new homes and that the rents that poor people can afford are not enough to pay off the cost of construction.
Although I do understand the frustration with the brutally high cost of housing, people tend to deemphasize the actual cost.
of materials, maintenance (which goes on indefinitely), insurance etc.
The want to think all of the cost is due to the greed of whoever owns the building.

But this move is a cut. We are hearing approximately 150 SROs will be removed, out of approximately 600. That's in line with Berg's numbers.

Removing SROs will slow grant review, and that will reduce grant funding.

Also Banning SROs does not prevent dangerous overcrowding situation in homes and multi family units
We need to re-legalize the very cheap, bare bones housing that keeps people off the street.

More broadly, we need policymakers to be ok with letting people build types of housing that they would not particularly want to live in.
Cheap Rooms Once Prevented Homelessness. We Need Them Back.
Inexpensive single-room-occupancy dwellings were common in America decades ago, but overregulation has driven them from the housing market.

Dallas bans new SROs from being located <1 mile from existing SROs.

So if I'm understanding the situation properly, these things are basically new SROs? And people are arguing they're harbingers of gentrification? Luxury SROs are going to gentrify the neighborhood? Do I have that right? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Tiny co-living spaces are popping up across New York. Local communities see them as ‘harbingers of gentrification’
Such properties are a housing alternative for younger people, but longterm residents worry about being priced out of their homes and losing community

people often whine that SROs aren't proper and healthy housing. I don't really agree but I can see the point. problem is the alternative is not an actual apartment, but the street

(We should bring back SROs)

We’re trying to bring back SROs in nyc but the council thinks that four people sharing one kitchen is “inhumane.”

The SROs in San Francisco’s Chinatown are a landing spot for immigrants to this day.

SROs with blonde wood and kombucha taps could solve the housing crisis.
September 25, 2025 at 3:39 PM
So we need to build more SROs

imagine pinning a child to the floor and pretending like you were protecting anyone. get sros and other cops out of schools
“That child — a second grader with autism at a North Carolina school — was ultimately pinned on the floor for 38 minutes, according to body camera video of the incident. At one point, court records say, the officer put his knee in the child's back.”

We built in the US the best scientific industry in world history and it is dying.

Fixing just the damage done since Jan 20 would take years. Maybe a decade. The program staff, SROs, and brilliant talent is not coming back.

We should legalize all forms of shelter, including SROs and small apartments.
October 7, 2024 at 5:43 PM
We've completely banned ebikes (SROs) except for college students

ATTENTION: TALENT AVAILABLE

It appears that termination of SROs from institute review branches at NIH is underway (or worse).

There are also program officers and SROs who have been terminated over the past month.
