What's cheaper than a tent? 1/2 or 1/3rd of a tent. That's enough if shelter is the only issue. If there is a need for the poorest to have solitude, there's going to be a proliferation in the number of tents.

Anecdata: I'm not on meth and I strongly prefer an entire tent to a partial tent.
But, are you so poor, that it would constitute a significant expense?
I mean, given the choice of two explanatory models:
1.) Even in cases of extreme poverty, people will put in significant effort and sacrifice to secure some degree of privacy, because it's a basic human desire (a desire I've seen in nearly every person I've ever met.)
2.) ULTRA-METH PSYCHOSIS
I'm strongly inclined to favor 1 over 2 until I see some very, very compelling evidence otherwise.
