I have a “garden “ shack complex in the b/y. Summed up it’s about 10’ x 10’.
Squirrels live there in the Winter.
It is a neat idea!
The Wiggie’s building is too far to walk for body excretions.
Slaves to the cause.
This is much better than the multi-story public housing crime-ridden slums in NYC. Less population density has got to lower crime.
And like dogs I assume they still have to do their business in the street. or dare there chemical toilets in those things? If there are they will be a pollution and harm crisis soon enough.
Agree. I contribute to local charity, “Union Gospel Mission,” that houses and feeds homeless people, some of †hem mothers with children. Cleans up their addictions, teaches them about Jesus, love, family, and hope. Trains them to do certain jobs so they can remain clean and sober
Contributed my old car to their used-car lot. When I went in with the Title to the car, young man greeted me: “Hi, I’m John, I’m an alcoholic and the sales manager.”
Bright young man was born to be the sales manager. UGM has the best used car lot in town. Men learn to salesmen, parts department employees and managers, mechanics, whatever.
The more money people contribute the ,more residence buildings they build, people they feed, hopeless cases they rescue. One of their “trained prayer warriors” prayed for my son, a brilliant tech guy who keeps walking out of six-figure jobs to drink. Son is back on track now.
All of those drunk and drugged-out street people were once beautiful children. Pray for them and help get them off the street.
They don't.
They are not capable.
Understand I am talking about the chronically homeless.
They are often nuts or addicts.
There are any number places that will provide temporary assistance and move you out of the "homeless" into productive person category. But the people in these huts are never going to take advantage of them. Because they don't want to.
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.
Thanks for saying what you said.
Tiny homes
You know these Occupy people would be rioting if President Trump were putting illegal immigrants in those shelters.
The gardens (groups of small parcels of land on the outskirts of town, next to the railroad tracks, or otherwise away from "ordinary" human habitations) are called Schrebergärten (Plural). Moritz Schreber was the man who popularized them.
The sheds are called Schrebergartenhäuser.
I am always amused when I encounter American tourists or even soldiers stationed here who assume that they are normal human habitations for "poor people."

And?! You've stopped at the most-interesting part! What happened then? Unintended consequences? Did your "freedom house" continue to thrive, while the church-operated one collapsed into anarchy?
Don't be coy!
You're obvious a guy with far more experience in these matters than anyone else here, so...
Regards,
It looks like more space than I had, as an enlisted man, living in the barracks, with two of us sharing the cracker box room.
Local churches thought i was being mean to them for making them pay rent so they started a free one...
Their sign: free rent as long as it lasts
My sign : a place to live as long as you work
They put me out of business and theirs wasn’t sustainable.
From the excerpt: “The Wiggie’s building...is...being renovated to offer restrooms, showers, washers and dryers, kitchen and dining area.”
