LA is spending $130,000 per 'tiny home' to shelter its homeless. Already homes are facing blowback for being too small

Prediction all these “homes’ will be non-livable within five years.

That is very optimistic... they become “unlivable” within weeks. Basically they have to be cleaned out by the staff that takes care of them on almost a daily basis if any type of sanitary conditions are to be maintained.

And yes we used to have a bunch of cheap motels and hotels around here that housed the same group that did not require a lot of government cash to keep open. But the people that ran these places were all villainized and run out of town long ago.

My prediction is that the expensive tiny homes will be bulldozed within two years and replaced with exactly the same thing at even greater expense.

Aw man!
Reminds me of FUN times had by siblings and I every time our parents bought a new appliance and gave us the HUGE BOX to play with! We built houses and played until the box completely fell apart.

Good times!

Newsom and Garcetti should be forced to live in tiny houses. Suits the proportionate sizes of their brains.

Probably their illegal alien drivers on their knees polishing the chrome wheels of the bosses’ limos live in servants’ quarters that size. And glad they didn’t get deported for yet another day. With that long bus ride back across the border to the nearest US sanctuary city again.

Someone needs to invent a Rhoomba that will pick up turds, they can sell them to California to put in these tiny homes.

Send them all to Beverly Hills and force the liberals living there to take them in.

There's room for 13 families in their houses, alone.

Translation from Spanish of one: "California houses are so huge it's dreamlike. Back in Chihuahua we would have had 35 families in a place this size."

“IF BIDS COME IN ON BUDGET.” ROFLMAO! Government contractors have taken “overages” to an art form.

I bought a house in Greeneville TN for 8500 dollars. It was livable but needed about 10000 remodeling. Sold it as is for 20000.

That makes sense. Living in small quarters would drive someone mad.

I had a tiny studio apartment in Denver when I was younger. I loved it!

Of course, I wasn't a schizophrenic drug addict, which is the real problem with L.A.'s homeless population.

I live in a high end 5th wheel in a rv park in Florida. I brought the basics with a few extras such as golf clubs. Everything I need is in the 5th wheel including granite counter tops and all wood is real, not veneer.

I enjoy it immensely.
