At least they aren’t making a home on the range.

“originally built for those with disabilities, and the toilet is removed.”

Hmmm, I think I see a problem here.

The pop culture and media have invented the “Tiny House” craze to acclimate people into living in 280 sq ft.

But that’s just a step up from the guy who converted a shipping container, which is a step up from the guy who converted a dumpster into a “home”.

And now, there’s this.

Only 20K per ... don’t sound very re-cycled to me.

“Folks who are living it rough and living on the streets and are trying to make a better life for themselves, they need consistency,” Devine told CBS Los Angeles. “They need a good night’s rest.”

BS

They are primarily BUMS, who need a good swift kick in the ass more than they need anything else.

Down south they have a different solution.

You can probably buy the whole lot for $20k.

If you go to the underlying website, http://www.ourownbackyardhomes.org/, you'll find this claim:

"1 IN 10 CAL STATE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS ARE HOMELESS​"

I find that very hard to believe. Cal State estimates that if a student lives at home, his/her annual expenses would be over $16,000 per year.

At the link they have a picture of one of these trailers with a guy setting on a deck on a trailer right next to a picket fence. The guy who bought the house with the picket fence is going to be really comfortable with the setup.

They need to come up with something better for location.

The tiny-house craze is being pushed by leftists and globalists.

The solution to the housing crisis is to get rid of the rules that favor tenants over landlords, and eliminate all rent-control laws.

Also eliminate subsidized housing too. No landlord is going to rent to someone who is going to trash the place a week later, but that landlord is being forced to by the gun of government.

So landlords simply won't build anything in that market.

This Port-a-potty conversion is actually not a bad idea; but it's typical knee-jerk liberalism too. The root cause of the problem is never addressed, only some liberal invents something that will be applauded by other libs at cocktail parties.

Los Angeles/the Feds could easily suspend the housing rules and someone could build a skyscraper full of 300-sq ft efficiency apartments that would eliminate the homeless problem overnight.

Isn’t Oregon trying something like this. Can’t remember the exact specifics, but something to the effect they will give you for free a new, $75,000 trailer if you will let a homeless person or family, park it in your backyard for 5 years, then the trailer home is yours to keep (or maybe what’s left of it after 5 years, and a backyard full of junk). There goes the neighborhood.
