A few years ago I got to see Abraham Lincoln’s home in Springfield, Illinois recreated to the time Abe was a prospering lawyer approaching middle age.
The Lincolns had a nice, snug three-holer outhouse.
So he, Mary and little Tad could seek their ease all at once? You would think, OK. Nothing further.
Hillbilly Hotel 6...?
Exactly.
Ha ha, having acquired a homeless family just this week, why not use old camping trailers? That is what we’re using.
Uh, only garden hose hookup? No sewer connection? Anybody see the problem?
And of all the possible choices why pick something that is and looks like an outhouse. Yep, you can park that right in front of my living room window.
actually, we hire a “laborer” to do it for a hundred bucks per, and we split 19,900 per
Further proof libs are full of bs.
“The system rests on a trailer that can be parked on any residential property,”
“Come onna my house”-———(R Clooney)——maybe George will allow one at his home.

Absolutely. Old travel trailers can be had for a song - not $20K. The insurmountable problem is the human waste issue. Cities and towns would have to allow these things to tap into the sewer line wherever they are placed and then there’s the sewer bill. Ain’t gonna happen. Only other option is a sewer pumping service to come around weekly to pump out small holding tanks (which I presume is the way these converted porta-potties would be handled). Who pays for that service?
Sleep standing up? Lay them down like a coffin?
Composting toilets?
Luckily we have a spot for RVs with sewer, electricity and water and even better it is half a mile from my house.
and the only hookup needed is a water hose.

There is another problem.
Output must equal input.
True, and very funny.
Those look pretty crappy.
How about the ‘rules’ that make me pay rent/tax on MY Property?
And that skyscraper full of apartments —
Just saw photos of Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong.
It was 6.4 acre, 12-story high DIY. and Lawless!
That’s an another understatement.

In Kern Co, Calif, one cannot live in their own RV on their own property (without conditional use permit, and only temporarily).
Meth freaks don’t sleep.
I never heard of it until your post
DREADFUL !

I am so f’ing sick of catering to the homeless. They live in every bush and under every freeway. It is RIDICULOUS and governments and charities are HELPING THEM LIVE THIS WAY, getting people to feel bad for people who “have to live on the streets,” trying to make living on the streets BETTER.
ARE WE A COUNTRY WHO WANTS PEOPLE LIVING ON THE STREETS?
When I was 17 I had massive culture shock in Calcutta, seeing people and cows living on city streets, carving out little shelters in the sides of stone walls of bank buildings. My daughter will not have such culture shock because she is growing up seeing this in Los Angeles.
I’m disgusted by us allowing this. It isn’t allowed in cities that care about themselves, and their visitors. You will not find this in Carmel, Manhattan Beach, or Charleston, SC.
We need to sort and put away anyone living on the streets or in the bushes of a city. We need to be able to commit people who have lost touch with reality even against their will, for their own safety. It is not freedom to put mentally ill out on the streets.
We need to have places out of town for drug and alcohol addicts, give them somewhere to live (forced rehab or even addiction support) outside of town to keep their problems and crime away from us.
And anyone really poor but not ill or addicted needs to have services to help them get back on their feet. Charities as well.
If we locked up the first two groups against their will (if they are dx’ed incompetent or addicted), there wouldn’t be that many on the streets from pure economics. Really. And if we didn’t have all these illegals, we could spare taxpayer. Only to give them a month of leg up time to get prepared to work.
