Single-room occupancy
Emphasized the "American-ness" of the term. It is little used in Canada. (I note that it is used in the "Downtown Eastside, Vancouver" article that is in the "see also," but that is unusual and generally regarded as the "importation" of American slang.)Tag: Visual edit

Changed [single room occupancy] to apply only to USA, vice "North America." I'm Canadian and have travelled extensively in this country. I've never heard it used here, except on American television shows broadcast here--especially NYC-based "cop shows."
