What happens when BLM burns them down?

Awwwwww isn’t this so special?

[Howie66]

Just like the zoo! See! We really DO Care!

I’d rather see this kind of thing than a lot of other ways to deal with the problem. Set up the shop and train the homeless people to make them for others. Being productive and self-sufficient is the best way to move them out of poverty and dependency.

That thing in purple couldn’t get through the door

Let alone turn around

“And you may ask yourself”
“How did I get here?”

What happens when someone stabs their neighbor?

“To get a house or hut, residents must put in sweat equity completing them, help run the village store or complete other activities, and follow rules. More than 50 people have expressed interest in a hut and many have attended orientation and become members of Occupy Madison, Konkel said.”

For some, this COULD work...but the “Occupy Madison” seems a problem to me...are they supposed to riot on demand?

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Agree..we need these for homeless Vets.

Nice idea, nicely made, but...

....sorry to be cynical, but it’ll fall apart.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Exactly. Are they the very same ilk as OWS?

[Paladin2]

The Tree of Liberty is fertilized?

[Covenantor]

Same as it ever was...

[Starcitizen]

Looks like the tiny storage shacks the Germans have for the gardens.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Yes indeed.
