Even worse - looking at the article, that's the journalist's interpretation and not what the residents quoted actually said.
The only quote anywhere near this is: 'The kitchen is not big enough. That's just not really what a modern child should be living in. It's just for a single [person] - just me, that's fine" which is specifically about the size of the kitchen and possibly reasonable if you consider that people with babies have paraphernalia such as bottle sterilisers, things to puree food etc.
The journalist's comment implies that it's fine for homeless single people to put up with all the stuff going on in those flats such as the drug users in communal areas. Shows how they view the single person, in a nutshell - probably one step away from injecting heroin themselves 🙄
