Occupy Madison's new tiny huts for the homeless feel 'warm and like home'

So what happened to the Wiggie’s Bar?

“To get a house or hut, residents must put in sweat equity completing them”

“sweat equity” - sure ... I remember when the Feds gave the Tribes (in the Pacific NW) brand new free inboard 25 foot fiberglass skiffs to gillnet salmon with - what did they have to do? Show up once a week and sweep the floor for a few minutes when they were sober - for the $18,000 it would have cost otherwise.

All of those drunk and drugged-out street people were once beautiful children. Pray for them and help get them off the street.

Thank you for that statement. Had a family member in that situation and he's back to his wonderful, productive self thanks to people who did just that.

10’ x 10’ is about the same size as the homes the first Plymouth colonists built, IIRC.

Where did he get the hammer and nail?

How cold does it get there? Wonder how many will burn down due to using electric heaters and who is paying the utility bill and property taxes?

MY Fleetwood double wide mfgd home cost $9/sq ft less than these huts.

I will bet that the property values in that area have plummeted.

Considering the price of real estate in Madison & surrounding areas, JOY TO THE WORLD !!!!!!

Plus, you don’t have to live with a bunch of crazies one hut over! ;)
