    This place is great. Your own space, food and community. We need this in WAY more communities. Maybe then we can start to make this country a bit better to live in.

      Yes, I do agree as a Texas native give the homeless a home.😊😊❤❤ I think we need to push this program forward. What I think they need is an exercise ground and a basketball ground.

      @@bunkyspunkmeyer You're talking about different matters. We're talking about how to solve the current problem. Creating programs that will deter homelessness in the future is a worthy conversation, but sperate.

    Tackling homelessness is going to be a very large challenge. And the best way to do it is with nonprofits and Very large donors who want to open up their pockets instead of buying foolishness

    Those shacks are embarrasing for how much they pay for them, it seems just like a scam to guarantee the sales of those overpriced, underfeatured shacks.

    Great idea. But is it self-sustaining, meaning the occupants pay something reasonable for living there (which building tiny makes it possible to do)? Or will it be dependent on others to maintain & pay for services? This news story never said. I think it's an important question. Do you?

    Wow AMAZING 🤩 and they live in a fairly WARM climate too bravo 👏🏻 to the people there, who did this! Hopefully they build 10 to 20 extra houses as well for people that may come along later on as well, so that people who come along later will also have something! Because woman’s shelters are terrible, AND they actually NEED to make permanent housing for people as well because I’m sure that finding decent homes or even a job will also be nearly impossible!

    • @swiftwindturning
      @swiftwindturning 8 місяців тому

      My question was, do the occupants pay what would be a reasonable price since tiny is cheaper? Or is it dependent on others paying to maintain the whole thing? This news story never even brought that up. Kind of important. Because you're right.
