That's Progressives.

They certainly looked better than the tents and sleeping bags and actually seemed to be Genuinely helpful.

Well I wouldn't want one in front of my house, nor would most people.
Where do these people use sanitation facilities, where do they bathe.

I could see the city setting these up in a lot somewhere, but wherever they put them, some taxpayer gets stuck with them next to him.
I like this guys idea, but it needs a lot of work, You just cannot move a box like this into someones neighborhood and have these folks settling there.

One thing I don't understand is how you can take someones box and leave them sleeping in the same place in a tent.
If you move the box out the tents should be moved out also.
But Wait , if they did that they would have to find a solution.

Well this is something I see a lot - opposing a short term solution - that WORKS - because somehow it's not a long term solution.
And in the mean time, someone sleeps in the cold outside in a bag because the shelter is still being debated by government.

Kind of like sitting around waiting for a medical procedure for months - or waiting half a day in the emergency room (raising hand) - or in the case of school vouchers - waiting longer than a child is in school to decide IF they're going to go with vouchers for him. SOME things need short term solutions, because the problem exists NOW. You fix what you can, now, until you find the better one.

What got me about this thing is - it cost the city *nothing*. And they still paid people to grab the houses and *destroy* them.

More progressive thought process from a city government that thinks the government is the only solution.

Isn't this the same solution Jimmy Carter contributes to with Habitat for Humanity? Although his little houses were more like a double outhouse size.

I don't think they destroyed the houses, they just stole the Solar panels off of them, before they returned them.

If my choice is having several of these tiny homes near my property versus a tent city, I'll take the tiny homes.
