Dog houses?

And just how cold does it really ever get in L.A. anyway? It ain’t Minnesota.

Not all homeless are animals. Dehumanization is all too easy a sin to make. Avoid it.

Dehumanization is a given in CA. These hovels will sell for 75K or 250K if tax-free.

Yeah, but the worry is, the damn bureaucrats will mess it all up with zoning ordinance violations, fines, and taxes. Some people just need to get the hell off the planet and leave everyone else alone.

I read another story about the homebuilder.

The houses are very small and on wheels.

So they can very easily be moved around like a hot dog cart.

Don’t know if the guy is a Christian but if more followers of Jesus did as he instructed in helping those who are truly needy ‘the least of these’ we wouldn’t need these massive govt programs of assistance nor would they have the ammo the socialists use to push socialism as it is taught in our schools K through university.

Have you helped a stranger in need today?

Really? Is this an opportunity to dump it all on christians or to slam them? Christians already do more than you can ever imagine all over the globe. No matter how much they do it will never keep up with the amount of suffering resulting from nature, human nature, or an individual’s ability to destroy another’s or their own life.

You seem be saying the War on Poverty was necessary.

Oh yeah.

The code enforcement officers in LA will make short work of this.
