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

Here’s an idea: get a f’ing job or go live in the rehab center or the nuthouse.

A few years back a photographer did an essay on life in Hong Kong called Living in 100 square feet. Scroll from picture to picture to see how they did it.

A lot of us have left or are leaving.

My unit lived in a Quonset hut in Korea. It housed about thirty, not including the enclosed cadre room for an NCO. I didn’t hear any complaints (well, a few about other things).

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

I'd say 3.

In the Navy years my ex and I lived in half a single wide outside the main gate in Mayport FL until we found a house for $75/mth. We didn’t like the half trailer much.

Who maintains them? Fixes broken plumbing, broken walls, burnt floors, graffiti, cleans crap off the walls, changes light bulbs?

I remember seeing the ‘pods’. Coming soon to a town near you. Unless you keep up with your prepper skills that is. :-)

We lived in one on Guam in the late 40’s. My mom said I would wait for a gecko to show up on the screen over my crib before I’d go to sleep. Too bad I have no memory of the time there.

One could repurpose a shipping container for a lot less.

Yeah, no place to put things away no place to have your living activities, course I guess the real thing here is they are building these at ridiculous expense for homeless people.

Build those things, get government to up taxes and make the working class pay for it or demand money from the Feds...same ol same ol dem policies I guess.

And then there is the problems of the homeless people deciding heck, why should i be homeless in another state when I can go to California and get me one of them little houses.

Additionally there are other factors in place— such as the placement/locating of these “mobile” homes, involving the fakery, manipulation of zoning and taxing of surrounding domiciles of real working homeowners/landlords. Similar to the “invasion” of the section 8 apartments which obamaumao forced onto communities as a requirement for new developments in the suburbs— Trump shut this down, as ruining the life investments of people who got away to the suburbs to a starter or a dream home, and then horrified to find out mega apt. blocks right inside the developments, “rented” out to Section 8 urban street goons— the very people/crime/dope they were trying to get away from.

Obamaumao did that. And the “homeless” do- good for themselvers— utilized this tweak of Section 8 to force zoning changes and “cutouts” in ex-urban areas.
