The pods, which are made from wood and steel, were put in parks and other places, a spokesman for the city said.
To shield the homeless from the wind and cold, the beds have been equipped with thermal insulation. They are also big enough for use by two individuals.
There are no cameras, and when they are in use, sensors are triggered.
Those behind the project, amid some delays, announced that they had eventually been rolled out just as the weather began to take a turn for the worse.

Lol! I remember my Dad trapping a squirrel that had been attacking birds at his feeder. He asked me to drive him somewhere relatively remote to release it. I pulled over, he opened the trap and shook it, but the damned squirrel hung on inside it. My Dad was cursing so loudly I was afraid the people in the nearest house would hear him and call the cops.
How many other folks thought of all of the communicable diseases and vermin that will infest those little coffins?
Gee let me go lie in that POD filled with urine and feces. Nan Pelosi needs to get about 25,000 for her chit pit San Francisco.
Looks like a horizontal port-o-let. Nice green touch with the solar panel.
Let the market work, and a person could rent a cot and locker, with a shared community bathroom, for $5 a day, or $100 a month.
Cannot do it, because of zoning, liability, licensing and building codes.
Like everything else these feel-good exercises will result in failure. They will be abused and destroyed. Remember Portland, OR and their free winter blankets to the homeless? Sold for drugs or booze. Seattle’s “share a bike”? Stolen and sold for parts.
It's all fun and Leftism until they start taking dumps in them. There's also nothing like the stench of a dead body after someone overdoses and dies in one.
Might as well affix permanent signs to them: "Exhibit A, Exhibit B, etc."
German City Installs Ulmer Nests, Sleeping Pods For Homeless People
I expect the US will need a whole lot of those during the biden reign.
If my reeducation camp has dogs and snow I might be ok.
As for the snow, I'm sure they'll be more than willing to acquiesce to your request.
Mutts will be fine. But if the Dems know that I like snow and dogs I’ll be stuck in the desert at a cat camp.
Ahhhh. You are wise to the ways of reverse psychology.
I’ll make an easy prediction - any city that adopts this will end up with more “homeless”, aka druggies and mentally ill.
The top photo looks right handy for a fork lift to load them on a truck for shipping them out.
What you subsidize, you get more of. The easier you make it to be a bum, the more bums you will have.
Ew.
What could go wrong? During a pandemic.
“Are they easy to Hose Out after a few days ? LOL”
Considering who the target “audience” is, that need is almost a given.
The pods can then be easily moved, and the trapped vermin released relatively unharmed into neighboring cities.
